There is a possibility that Capcom will reveal the release date for the upcoming fighting game Street Fighter 6 very soon. This is due to a rating from the South Korean Game Rating and Administration Committe (GRAC), which recently appeared online. This game is a highly anticipated entry in the Street Fighter franchise, with previews and information about the game garnering a lot of positivity. The recent Street Fighter 6 closed beta cemented this further, with players praising the amount of customization, gameplay depth, and approachability that is being emphasized. While the game's release window is currently only known for 2023, there's a chance the release date might be announced very soon.Much like the ESRB ratings board, GRAC is a Korean content rating organization that classifies a game's content is suitable for a certain audience. Usually ratings are given to games that are coming out relatively soon, so while the game is still aiming for a 2023 release, it's likely a release window will be announced soon. With regard to Street Fighter 6, it carries the same possibility. According to the GRAC rating, this game received a 15+ label, which is most equivalent to the M-rating label by the ESRB. It notes certain aspects as to how it got this rating, such as the expression of sexuality in a character's costume, and the violence on display during a match. Considering that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was also rated recently in Korea, this likely puts Street Fighter 6 in the same release window as Zelda.
With this game's recent rating and the timing of The Game Awards, there is a chance that Street Fighter 6 might get another showing at the event by Capcom, though this is speculation for the time being.
Capcom has been doing quite a lot to market Street Fighter 6, revealing tons of new information over the past month. This includes revealing a set of Street Fighter 6 prequel comics involving Ken that will tie into the game's plot, along with things on the mechanics side such as its simplified dynamic control scheme. Hopefully fans won't need to wait long to see if Street Fighter 6 lives up to its current hype with its full release in 2023.
Street Fighter 6 launches in 2023 on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
