The announcement of the third beta's schedule came at the heels of a couple of leaks earlier this month. On Dec. 1, a NeoGAF forum user posted a screenshot of a PlayStation Store advertisement that lists the beta dates as Dec. 17 to 20. Rumors of the upcoming beta were also strengthened when a Reddit user saw his PlayStation downloading "Street Fighter V" beta version 1.06. Both are strong indications that Capcom is in the process of setting up for the third beta.
Along with the beta schedule, Capcom also teased gamers with a video showcasing all 16 characters that will be included in the game's launch. The "Street Fighter V" character lineup is now confirmed, which includes mainstays Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li; newcomers Laura and F.A.N.G.; and many more.
"Street Fighter V" is scheduled for release on Feb. 16 on the PC and PS4.
