The popular fighting game "Street Fighter" is now coming to PlayStation 4. During Sony's press conference at E3 last week, Capcom announced the details for the "Street Fighter V" Beta testing that is exclusive for the PS4. As reported on IGN, the Beta will start on July 23, 2015.

Dual Shockers has posted the details for the Beta. Sadly though, it is only available in Europe. As explained on the website, to apply for the Beta, one simply needs to go to the official website and select the country one's from. For U.S. gamers, the only way to get access to it is to pre-order the game, the same goes for PC users. It was posted on the beta website that "PC users can get access to the online beta by pre-ordering Street Fighter V on Steam. The first PC Beta phase will begin this fall."

"Street Fighter V" will feature two new characters in the roster: Cammy and Birdie. According to another report from IGN, six playable characters are playable in the IP. These are Ryu, Nash, M. Bison and Chun Li and of course, Cammy and Birdie.

Meanwhile, gamers who have missed "Street Fighter V's" E3 presentation last week, still have a chance to test and try the game. Denkiphile reports that Capcom has officially confirmed their participation in Anime Expo next month, which will run from July 2 to 5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The attendance and the assurance that "Street Fighter V" will be playable during the anime event has been confirmed through an email correspondence with Capcom Community Manager Peter "Combifiend" Rosas.

"Street Fighter V" is set to be released next year, March 2016 and is being developed by Capcom with Dimps as the co-developer for the PlayStation 4 platform and for Microsoft Windows.
