Speaking with Japanese magazine Famitsu (as translated by EventHubs), Street Fighter V‘s Yoshinori Ono has said Capcom plans to support the game into 2020.
Ono stressed that Capcom’s goal is to “solidify Street Fighter V as an Esports title” in that time, though it’s not clear if the publisher plans to release additional Street Fighter titles between now and 2020.
“I said in the beginning that we’ve seen a higher number of [tournament] entrants than we had in the Street Fighter IV era, but we’d like to heighten that even further,” Ono continued. “The more people participate, the bigger tournaments we can host, and the more people are going to watch them, which is directly connected with our sales, and that’s going to decide the future.”
Street Fighter V is available on Windows PC and PS4. Its newest playable character, Akuma, will soon be added to the game.
