It's not often that we get to post a breaking news, stop-the-presses kind of story about an impending sequel to a beloved franchise. Of course, that adage doesn't really apply to
Street Figher, a series with more sequels and spin-offs than the Joystiq staff has fingers and toes. On the Japanese
Street Fighter IV blog,
Capcom's Natsuki Shiozawa intimated that an announcement regarding a sequel would be made in the near future. With
TGS only a week away, we can only hope that such an announcement will be made then.
IGN quite rightly notes that an
SFIV "sequel" doesn't necessarily equate to a brand new entry in the series. Given the series' history, it's easily possible that it could end up being an extension of the game, à la
Street Fighter II Championship Edition. We might add that an
SFIV refresh would be
perfect for the impending holiday shopping season.
