[ad_1]

Street Fighter returned in a big way in June with the release of the sixth numbered installment in the legendary fighting series, but Capcom has turned to more staples in store: It’s now revealed that Street Fighter: Duel, the free-to-play “casual” RPG is heading to iOS and Android. Android in February.

Street Fighter: Duel, a collaboration between Capcom and Crunchyroll Games, features an “original story” where players take on Seth and Shadaloo’s army of clones using a team of three assembled from over 40 possible familiar faces.

There’s representation from across the series – the likes of Ryu, Akuma, Cammy, and Chun-Li are all confirmed to be playable – and battle begins either in real time or through optional auto-combat if players prefer. Expect new and returning stages as the adventure continues, with everything rendered in “beautifully animated” 2D.

Street Fighter: Duel Announcement.

Capcom says leveling up characters unlocks new combos and signature abilities to use in battle, and those looking for something a little more competitive can take their squads online to compete head-to-head with other players.

There’s no set release date for Street Fighter: Duel yet, but pre-registration is now open across Google Play and the iOS App Store in the UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or other select European countries.

As detailed on the Street Fighter: Duel website, three different types of in-game currency – perhaps not a promising sign – are being offered as part of pre-registration, with quantities increasing as more players sign up. Expect in-game currency to be used for the likes of new cosmetic skins, which Capcom says it will continue to add over time.
