Fans have finally heard word about a soft release date for the highly-anticipated 'Street Fighter V' on the PS4 and PC platforms, however, the news is not official as of yet.

In a recent blog post, Capcom states, "Everyone is fired up for Street Fighter V coming to the PS4 and PC next spring." However, Capcom later refuted the claims and stated that this isn't an official release date:

"The date that was listed on Capcom Unity was just a tentative release time and no official announcements have been made regarding the release of Street Fighter V"

Beyond that, test footage of the game was reluctantly leaked last year prior to the game's official announcement.

"Street Fighter V was announced in December as a PS4 and PC exclusive. Just recently, Capcom announced that it plans to run a public beta test that it claims will be the 'largest and most ambitious online beta program in franchise history.' A date for when it will begin hasn't been shared, but we do know you can guarantee yourself access by preordering the game," writes Gamespot.

The game has confirmed the return of mascot characters such as Ryu and Chun-li and recently unveiled the return of the once deceased character Charlie.
