What could Capcom possibly have in store this coming weekend at the PAX Prime 2015 event that will be held over in Seattle?

Of course, there is no word on which game/s Capcom will be pushing for this weekend; but going through their games, "Street Fighter 5" could use some bump, if ever.

The belief is that "Street Fighter 5" will have at least one special announcement at the said event. One of the anticipated announcements is that new character/s could be added to the handful of names already known.

A tweet by game producer Yoshinoro Ono seems a bit mysterious. Although he says that he may not be around during the PAX Prime event, the announcement to be made is certainly something to watch out for. His wish granted? Well putting two and two together, some character reveals could be something worthwhile.

To recall, only Cammy and Birdie were the characters revealed by Capcom at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3); so additional characters could be pretty much welcome.

Then again, it could be more than characters like maybe new fighting areas or even levels. It could be a mix of those things; so for the "Street Fighter" gamers out there, be sure to keep tabs on what exactly the company is planning to reveal.

Aside from the upcoming PAX event, Ono bares another thing that should draw praises from "Street Fighter" fanatics. Apparently, "Street Fighter 5" beta will finally make its way back.

The beta actually went up last July. Unfortunately, the "Street Fighter 5" beta offered a lot of issues, forcing Capcom to temporarily shut it down to apparently address the problems it brought.

Could it be announced as well this weekend?

"Street Fighter 5" is set to be launched in the spring of 2016 and will be playable on personal computers (PCs) and PS4.

The PAX Prime event will be held from Aug. 28 to 31, so make sure you keep track of what big announcement Capcom will be making.
