Street Fighter 6 – the final preview: World Tour rounds out a genre-defining feature set
Street Fighter 6 may well be one of the greatest turn-arounds in gaming history. Cast your mind back to 2016, to the release of the deeply flawed Street Fighter 5. The bones of that package were pretty strong – but there also wasn’t much meat on them. In fact, if you didn’t want to play multiplayer, you were pretty much out of luck. It was a shocking, sloppy-feeling launch package.
SF5 did improve over the years. It’s nowhere near as good as SF4, but I find it to be an enjoyable experience with a good amount of content in all modes. But it took the developers years, and a leadership overhaul, to get there. And perhaps SF5 is what needed to happen to learn a few potent lessons. Those lessons have been fully embraced in Street Fighter 6.
Let’s be fair. I’ve talked about all of this before. I gushed about the game at a first limited hands-on, and then again later when the cast expanded. I’m one of only two fighting ame enthusiasts on VG247’s staff, too – and so I haven’t even been alone, with Connor also voicing his extreme excitement for SF6. But this most recent hands-on – the last before we’ll be downloading a final version of the game – is different.

Watch out, God of War Ragnarok spoilers are doing the rounds on social media
It wouldn’t be a AAA video game release without some kind of leak, this time for God of War Ragnarok weeks before the game is even out.
We’re not going to write about them here, because that would be a dick-move, but we did want to let you know that if you aren’t careful, you might spot some spoilers for the upcoming sequel to 2018’s God of War. The leaked images were first spotted by VGC, who speculated that the account might belong to someone with a review copy, and hasn’t noticed that the screenshots have been posted online.
The account the images are coming from has seem to have since deleted them, though Twitter being as it is, it won’t be too surprising if they’re circulated, so maybe included some muted words, or just don’t go on Twitter at all if you can help it if you’re particularly spoiler averse.
Game Pass rounds off October with Frog Detective 3, Signalis, Persona 5, and more
The line-up of October Game Pass games has just been revealed! Released via an official blog post on the official Xbox website, you can download a variety of exciting (and Halloween appropriate in some cases) games as early as right this minute, including a few really big hitters you’ll want to download while you have the chance.
The first game is A Plague Tale: Requiem, which you can download right now on Game Pass for both PC and Xbox Series X/S. We released our review for this game just yesterday, giving it a very positive review and noting that developers Asobo “should be proud of what it achieved in this game, as depressing and engrossing as it is.”
If you’re looking for something that packs a bit more of a horrific tone — we are in the Halloween season after all — we’ve got both The Amnesia Collection and Amnesia: Rebirth coming to console and PC starting October 20. A legendary series that kicked off the first person horror age that kicked life back into a dwindling genre back in 2010, it’s well worth a playthrough if you’ve not played it yet.
