Street Fighter 6 may have a battle royale mode!

One of the most trusted insiders of SF, HOT97 has dropped a serious new leak. Previously the leaker had accurately predicted features like the RPG-like Story mode, and characters getting bruised as they fight. He also leaked the ‘VS Mode’ and more, prior to the April 20, 2023, official showcase by Capcom. 

In his latest reports, the leaker has revealed that Street Fighter 6 will be having one-of-a-kind Fighting Game Battle Royale mode. Where players will be able to take single characters or join teams of two or three and compete against other players to be the last man or team standing.
