Street Fighter: Duel is a free-to-play mobile RPG coming in February

We already knew that 2023 was going to be a big year for the Street Fighter franchise, thanks in large part to Street Fighter 6’s upcoming release this summer. However, Capcom and Crunchyroll Games are stacking up with a new free mobile RPG called Street Fighter: Duel. If you address character-collecting games like Summoners War, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and Marvel Strike Force, Street Fighter: Duel sounds like it shares many elements with these popular mobile titles.

Street Fighter: Duel features over 40 Street Fighter characters that players can recruit to build a team from across the franchise. Each team consists of three fighters who can be leveled up and customized with new skins. These fighters, which include characters like Ryu, Akuma, Chun-Li, Cammy and more, all have distinctive skills and can perform various combos in real-time 2D RPG combat or in auto battle mode. Besides Shadaloo, players can also look forward to head-to-head battles against other players.

“Street Fighter has been an iconic game for generations, and we know that anime fans love to experience exciting adventures starring beloved characters,” said Terry Li, general manager of Crunchyroll Games and Crunchyroll senior vice president of emerging business, in a press release. “We’re excited to be working with Capcom to bring Street Fighter: Duel and its incredible roster of legendary fighters to anime and gaming fans alike.

Pre-registration for both mobile platforms is now available the official website. Those who pre-register will receive free in-game currency when the game arrives. Street Fighter: Duel is due out for iOS and Android in February.
