Capcom is looking to add more value and immersion to the Street Fighter brand while developing multiple new video games using the RE Engine
MT Frameworks quickly became the backbone engine for most of Capcom's video games during the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 generation which still saw use as recently as Monster Hunter World and Mega Man 11, but it appears as though the company may have found a worthy successor in the RE Engine.
Capcom is continuing to release new materials from their highly profitable fiscal earnings reports and projections including a Q-and-A session between the company and its investors to discuss future prospects including Street Fighter, Monster Hunter and the RE Engine.
Inside the minds of three great players, G is better than Catalyst thought, James Wan's Mortal Kombat film, scary characters at Combo Breaker and more

It wouldn't be a 2019 EventHubs Podcast without some G discussion, and Catalyst has a few updates to the way he has perceived the character in recent months.
Black Mirror season 5 trailer features glimpse at Street Fighter-like fight scene
A new season of the critically acclaimed Netflix series Black Mirror is on route and a trailer for the upcoming fifth season was released earlier this week. If you're unfamiliar, this science fiction show takes a close examination of modern technology and provides viewers a look into where things could go if society continues to advance — often times with a scenario that's more grim than anything.
In the new Black Mirror trailer, we get a glimpse at the three new stories that are inbound, and one of them appears to feature a fighting game scenario that seems to be akin to Street Fighter.
What do you think Street Fighter 5's next big announcement is and when do you think it'll drop? EventHubs round table discussion
It has been exactly five months to the day (December 16th of last year) since Capcom officially revealed and made playable Street Fighter 5's latest newcomer: Kage. Kage came with a balance update for the entire roster as well as the following text on the Capcom Unity blog post:
"Kage is only the beginning of the next season of Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition! We’re doing things differently this year, so we’re eager to share the details with you soon! Thank you for all the continued support. We can’t wait to show off what’s next in 2019!" Needless to say, five months with no official reveal has led fans to a rather perturbed state, but a recent message from Yoshinori Ono has given new hope.

PC Mods: Early glimpse at Falke's Breath of Fire 2 Katt costume in action for Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition
As most of us are probably aware of, players can now begin collecting Falke's Breath of Fire 2 Katt costume gems through Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition's Extra Battle mode. In other words, it's going to require another four weeks before most of us can use this purrrrfect costume (I'm sorry, but not really).
Of course, there are some who have already gained access to the Katt costume. Thanks to Street Fighter 5 being available on the PC, modders can play with Falke in her Katt outfit right now.
Ono states that new Street Fighter 5 content is on the horizon, we talk what it might be, when it might happen, and how hard it will potentially hit

We've decided to do a quick take podcast entry to further discuss the implications of Ono's messages, specifically looking at the what, when, and overall weight in regards to this upcoming reveal.

However, it seems Yoshinori Ono is well aware of the concerns about Street Fighter 5's future. He's taken to Twitter and said some very interesting things that Street Fighter fans may want to pay attention to.
