Anticipated Launch of Street Fighter V in Spring 2016 speculated
Rewritten Article:
It seems like Capcom might've spilled the beans about the release date of Street Fighter V for PS4 and PC, though they've quickly yanked back their words. The cat's out of the bag, ya know? Some folks are speculating whether this was just a slipup or someone pulling a fast one.
The hint dropped in a blog post highlighting the Capcom goodies on display at PAX East in Boston last weekend. But there was a telling line in the write-up for the Street Fighter V T-shirts that read:
"Everyone's pumped for Street Fighter V hitting the PS4 and PC next Spring. Until then, rock the official SFV key art T-shirt, featuring a badass Ryu, for $25."
Oops, they've scrubbed the word 'spring' since then, but EventHubs managed to snap a screenshot before that.
Of course, Capcom ain't spitting out the beans about the date, but a spring release in 2022 seemed far-fetched to begin with. Remember, they've gotta sort out the beta before dropping the game, so a 2022 release felt off somehow.

- It is unlikely that Capcom's mention of a release date for Street Fighter V in a blog post highlighting Capcom goods at PAX East in 2022 was a genuine announcement, considering their quick redaction of the information.
- The hinted release date for Street Fighter V, while initially present in the description of Street Fighter V T-shirts, has since been removed, but a screenshot of the blog post was captured by EventHubs before the change.
- Regardless, a spring 2022 release for Street Fighter V seems improbable given the ongoing work required for the game's beta.
