On Feburary 20th, Street Fighter returns with Street FIghter IV. The new addition to the long practically historic fighting franchise in the industry. The series combining for 25 million units sold over all will release for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

The series which has amassed combined global sales of over 25 million units aims to put the fun back into the fighting genre and reignite the passion of the Street Fighter II era. Everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a global hit is back in Street Fighter IV with the addition of new characters, including fighters added just for the console version of the game, special moves, locations and gameplay elements, providing challenges for even the most seasoned Street Fighter pro.
