Street Fighter 5 is expected to launch early next year when Capcom revealed in their company's financial report that the anticipated fighting game will launch during its current fiscal year that will end March 31, 2016. This could mean that the game could be out sometime between now and the last day of March next year, which seems pretty consistent with rumors circulating online that it will be released in spring next year.

"In North America, those who pre-order the game through select retailers or through PlayStation NetWork (PSN) will be granted automatic access to the beta. In Europe and Asia, players interested in participating in the beta program can visit www.StreetFighter.com and follow the various steps to sign up for a chance to join the fight!" Capcom announced.
Street Fighter 5 developed by Capcom is the fifth main title of the game's franchise and will be released as an exclusive title to PS4 and Windows PC early next year.
