In 2011, former Capcom employee Seth Killian suggested that Street Fighter V would arrive before 2019, saying "If I have anything to say about it, and I do, you will not have to wait ten years for Street Fighter 5."^[33] In July 2013, Ono commented that while he desired to make a Street Fighter V for an eighth-generation console, such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a next-generation game would require a large staff and a large budget. He also stated that making the game a free-to-play title was an option, though he was not fully open to it, and confirmed that the game was currently not in development.^[34] In June 2014, Ono refuted claims that Street Fighter V would include a "pay to win option", stating that Street Fighter V is still in the early planning stages.^[35]
On December 5, 2014, a teaser trailer for Street Fighter V was unintentionally released by Capcom to the public before being taken down again. The trailer mentioned that the game would be exclusive to PlayStation 4 and PC,^[36] and will enable cross platform gameplay.^[37][38] The official announcement was made at Sony's PlayStation Experience event on December 6.^[39] It is currently due for release in spring 2016.^[40]
