Capcom's mysterious countdown seems more likely than ever to be pointing to the announcement of a new Street Fighter game.
We already knew that the countdown would coincide with the Street Fighter Pro Tour final, and 2022 marks the series' 35th anniversary, making a new announcement feel natural.
Adding fuel to that fire, the Capcom CAP-JAMS band, which has created music for more recent Street Fighter projects, has also made sure to point fans to the countdown:

It's led many to surmise that whatever we get this weekend will be Street Fighter-related.
As mentioned below, Street Fighter 6 was one of the games IGN was able to independently confirm had been in development at Capcom at the time of a major leak. Capcom has previously said that Street Fighter 5 DLC character Luke is 'key' to the future of the series, so you can expect him to feature in any announcement.
Capcom has launched a new website that is teasing an announcement for next weekend.
The countdown page, which gives no further information as to what it may be for, is set to end on February 20 at 10pm PT/February 21 at 1am ET/6am GMT/4pm AEST.
It's important to note that the Capcom Pro Tour 2021 season final is set to end next weekend, meaning this very well may be an announcement for Street Fighter 6 or something else in the legendary fighting series.
Street Fighter 6 was part of a massive data breach at Capcom alongside Dragon's Dogma 2, the Resident Evil 4 Remake, Monster Hunter 6, and more.
It's also possible we may learn more about the DLC for Resident Evil Village, Monster Hunter Rise's Subreak expansion, or even the possible remaster of Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Whatever it may be, we won't have too long to wait. Let us know below what you'd most be hoping for from Capcom.
