The character roster of Street Fighter 6, many of whom have been series staples for over 35 years, take a surprising backset in the new chapter of Street Fighter lore. At its centre is you and your customisable avatar, cast as a fresh-faced novice fighter searching for the ephemeral meaning of strength, whatever that may be. The backbone of Street Fighter 6’s identity is World Tour, a single-player, RPG adventure that is a series first in several respects.

Together with a highly refined iteration of the series’ thoughtfully-paced fighting system, as well as plenty of helpful modes, tools and assistance to cater to various degrees of familiarity with the genre, this is a fighting game that is approachable and has a great deal to offer. And it’s all bound together with a wonderfully vibrant, stylish and infectiously upbeat aesthetic.
