As I mentioned I was able to check out the entire 18 character launch roster – which was by far my biggest fear going into the game as none of my favourite characters like Alex, Cody, or Birdie are returning for this entry. The main section of Street Fighter 6 is Fighting Ground this is where the classic Street Fighter gameplay and modes you know and love are housed, like Arcade, Training and – of course – 1v1 battles. I was able to take a look at Street Fighter 6's two offline sections – Fighting Ground and World Tour – including every mode, and access to all 18 of the characters available on the base roster. I was invited by Capcom to play a work in progress version of Street Fighter 6 ahead of its launch on June 2, 2023, and I've somehow left the session even more impressed by what was already my most anticipated game of 2023.
