Street Fighter 5, the latest installment in Capcom's decade-length franchise, has been confirmed to be back online. Players are now to comment on the awaited development that the game itself is noted to have gone through as of late.
As good as the news may seem, the said online privilege of the game may be at most, limited, for the time being. According to MNR Daily, gamers have been able to play online as of now, with the beta permitting only the choices of four characters. Furthermore, two additional characters that were originally supposed to be part of the game during the middle of the beta have not been confirmed of being included as of the moment.
With the said released information and the beta itself already publically exposed, the beta is obviously open for all gamers. On a more unanswered point, developer Capcom has not given word whether this was done deliberately.
But due to all the commotion that Street Fighter 5 has stirred, Capcom finally gave their own take on the said issue. As recently reported by Games Radar, Capcom stated that they are in the process of observing an internal stress test directed to the Street Fighter 5 servers, in order to see the full functionality of the system. Moreover, Capcom mentioned that they are doing the said measures to calculate when the first beta for the game will once more be available.
Speculations of Capcom re-launching the first beta will take place after the said assessment of the stress test's output. According to Christian Today, this will also be highly dependent on the results that Capcom would want; technically, the successful result will cause the apparent pursuit of the game to the public.
After the public launch of the beta last July 23, the problems that the beta has caused was simply upsetting for the fans. The first beta is expected to go a little past July 28, as the game itself will be released on March 2016.
