The Street Fighter series from Capcom has had some disappointing films in the past, making fans eagerly anticipate news about a new cinematic adaptation, set for release in 2026. Interestingly, the director of the upcoming Street Fighter movie is Kitao Sakurai, who’s also known for directing The Eric Andre Show and Twisted Metal. Despite seeming to progress well, Sony has lately taken Street Fighter off their list of forthcoming releases. Originally planned for 2026, we now don’t have a definite release date. However, considering the recent change in directors, Sony’s decision could be due to needing more time for the new director to bring his vision to life effectively.
Watching the release dates for movies we’re eagerly awaiting get moved can be a bit unsettling. Yet, considering Street Fighter’s past cinematic history, it’s crucial to ensure the film is well-made rather than rushing its premiere. Details about the upcoming movie’s production are scarce, but we do know that Legendary and Sony will jointly develop and produce the Street Fighter movie along with Capcom. These companies have a proven track record of turning games into successful films, so hopefully, this release delay is merely a minor setback rather than a knockout blow.
1987 saw the launch of the iconic “Street Fighter” game, which has significantly shaped the fighting game genre. It stands among the most successful and profitable video game franchises ever made, making a well-executed live-action movie long overdue. Over the years, numerous anime adaptations have expanded its universe and folklore, offering plenty of material for adaptation. Given that it’s nearly four decades old, let’s hope news about a new “Street Fighter” release date emerges soon.
