"Street Fighter V" is still a year away from its release in U.S. arcades and home consoles but a playable demo will be available at the Community Effort Orlando 2015 tournament in Orlando, Florida this June 26 to 28. This will mark the first time that the game will be made available for the public to test.
CEO is also one of the premiere events of the Capcom Pro Tour. The tournament organization made the announcement during the live stream of the Combo Breaker Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament, as reported by gaming site IGN. No confirmation has been given if the game to be featured will be the arcade version or the console port.
Capcom has been releasing character trailers for "Street Fighter V," with the most recent reveal showcasing M. Bison (Vega in Japan). As of the time of writing, there have only been four characters confirmed for the title: Ryu, Charlie, Chun-Li, and M. Bison. However, given Ryu's involvement, it may come as no surprise if Ken will be included as well.
Only one fighting stage has been revealed thus far. This is the stage set in China and is very reminiscent of the China stage seen in "Street Fighter II" and "Street Fighter IV," both of which served as stages for character Chun-Li.
The inclusion of "Street Fighter V" gives fighting game enthusiasts even more to look forward to as it was previously announced by Bandai Namco that "Tekken 7" would also be playable at the tournament. Both games have no definitive release dates in the United States yet but "Streeet Fighter V" is scheduled for a spring 2016 release for the PS4 and PC.
The CEO tournament is one of the largest fighting game competitions in the country with over 28,000 attendees participating or spectating in last year's round. It emphasizes the use of double-elimination rounds and BYOC (bring your own controllers) systems.
