Street Fighter V won't take ten years to arrive

Capcom’s Seth Killian has said that fans won’t have to wait a decade for a full blown sequel to Street Fighter IV to arrive on the scene.

Killian’s comments will ring true for long-time Street Fighter aficionados’, as 2009's SFIV didn’t materialise until ten years after Street Fighter III was released.

However, it seems Capcom is keen on getting Street Fighter V out the door sooner, with Killian telling Eurogamer, “If I have anything to say about it, and I do, you will not have to wait ten years for Street Fighter 5.”

“It will be before 2019. Now I’m going to be fired for promising Street Fighter 5 before 2019. I think I should be OK. We’ll see. They’ll do 2020 just to screw me and make me look like an ass.”

Unsurprisingly however, he wasn’t in a position to divulge any possible ideas for a follow-up.

“I have to be very guarded. Or the case will be some other game cops the idea. That happens all of the time. With the rebirth of fighters there’s a lot of great games coming out. I’m always paranoid when I’m looking at new games to see if someone’s stolen one of the ideas I have in my notebook of awesome stuff. It’s not like they’ve read my notebook or they’ve cheated me out of it. They’ve come to it on their own clever reasoning.”

    Of course it wont it will just take a few extra months to release the proper version after this and if people haven't learned from Capcom the last time then I expect this to sell loads until the SUPER MEGA STREE FIGHTER 5 CHAMPIONSHIP ALPHA EDITION comes out.
