It looks like the buzz surrounding Street Fighter 5 is about to increase all the more, as Capcom intends to run an online beta for Street Fighter 5 – and this is set to happen on both the PlayStation 4 and Windows PC platforms. Touted to be “the largest and most ambitious online beta program in franchise history,” this unique effort would enable the developers to start looking into feedback received from fans on character balance as well as various elements of the upcoming game before turning it gold.
Pre-order customers who reside in North America need not lift a finger at all, since they will automatically be on the receiving end of beta access, now how about that? Capcom has remained mum on any release window for the beta, and neither have they shared on plans for entry into the beta for folks who did not place a pre-order for Street Fighter 5, although it would be prudent to remain tuned in for any upcoming updates.
Charlie Nash is also the latest character that will make his way to the Street Fighter 5 roster, where he is generally referred to as Nash in Japan, and Charlie in the West, having first made his debut in Street Fighter Alpha a couple of decades ago – boy, how fast has time flown! [Press Release]
