	Rumor: Street Fighter 6, Power Stone Remake, and Final Fight Remake Revealed in Capcom Cyber-Attack Leak

  

Earlier this month, Capcom reported it was the victim of a cyber-attack which led to unauthorized access to its network and development schedule for the next four years. More recently, Capcom now says corporate, employee, and customer information may have been compromised in the attack. IGN reported new information about upcoming (unannounced) Capcom games — and their release dates, which have leaked onto the internet. According to the leak, Capcom is planning Street Fighter 6 to release in 2022 (purportedly for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, XB1 & PC), followed by "Super" and "Ultra" editions in 2023 and 2024... with Power Stone Remake and Final Fight Remake also coming in 2024. So far, none of these projects have been confirmed by Capcom.    (Nov. 2nd): "Capcom expressed its deepest regret for any inconvenience this may cause to its various stakeholders," Capcom wrote. "Further, it stated that at present there is no indication that any customer information was breached. This incident has not affected connections for playing the company's games online or access to its various websites." According to IGN, this is the purported schedule of upcoming Capcom games.    Upcoming Capcom Games in 2021-2024:     Resident Evil Outbreak — Q4 FY21   Dragon's Dogma 2 — Q2 FY22   Street Fighter 6 — Q3 FY22   Rockman [Mega Man] Match — Q3 FY22   Resident Evil 4 Remake — Q4 FY22   Monster Hunter 6 — Q2 FY23   Biohazard Apocalypse — Q3 FY23   "SSF6" — Q4 FY23   Final Fight Remake — Q2 FY24   Power Stone Remake — Q3 FY24   Ultra SF6 — Q4 FY24   Resident Evil Hank [likely, "Hunk"] — Q4 FY24   IGN claims their sources close to Capcom have said "many" titles on the above list are in fact "genuine" — but their sources were unable to verify all of them.  On Nov. 2nd, Capcom reported the cyber-attack "destroyed and encrypted data" on their servers — with the criminal organization Ragnar Locker demanding a money ransom for the compromised information. Capcom is currently investigating the full scope of the theft, estimating that up to 350,000 pieces of stolen personal data (including customer and shareholder info) could have been leaked. Capcom also wants to reassure customers that online services, websites, and games are safe to access.     While its certainly unfortunate that Capcom was hit with such a massive data breach, it would be difficult at this point for Capcom fans not to become immediately stoked about many games on this list. However, as with any leak or rumor... it would be wise to wait for additional confirmation from more legit sources before getting too excited or promoting any of these unconfirmed titles.     Stay tuned on The Fighters Generation for upcoming fighting game news! We'll continue to keep you informed on this developing story.
