A new campaign, new areas, new weapons and equipment, and all-new challenges will be included in Retribution. The addition of nighttime trips into the city is one of the most significant improvements to the original gameplay loop of the first title.

Capcom confirmed three modes for Street Fighter VI: Fighting Ground, which focuses on the classic fighting game experience with modes from previous games in the series; World Tour, “an immersive single-player story experience”; and Battle Hub, which sounds like a social area for player communication. This could be the 3D component of the title.
