"Street Fighter" fans, it looks like you will all have to wait until next year for news on the future of the much-loved franchise. However, Capcom has given fans an idea of what they can expect about the next game in the series.
Capcom has confirmed that "Street Fighter V's" Luke will be a major part of the franchise's next game. Luke is the latest DLC character of "SFV" and is the fifth one to be added to the 2016 game. The other DLC characters are Akira, Don, Oro, and Rose.
Beyond the news of Luke being part of the next game in the series, Capcom has yet to confirm or announce any details about the next game.
Many believe that news about the next game would have been released by now, but Capcom was stopped from announcing the news by the sudden departure of the series' producer as well as the ongoing success of "Street Fighter V."
