# Video Game Reveal Countdowns Capcom Launched a Six-Day Countdown to a Mystery Game Reveal By Colin Smith | Published 2022-02-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capcom-countdown References: [ign](https://www.ign.com/articles/capcom-countdown-page-is-teasing-an-announcement-for-next-weekend-street-fighter-6) & [capcom-games](https://www.capcom-games.com/countdown/)  Capcom has launched a new webpage titled the 'Capcom Countdown.' This page launched on February 15th, 2022, with a six-day countdown to a mystery reveal. Capcom's announcement tweet stated was remarkably vague, containing only an hourglass emoji and an eyeball emoji. Since the announcement of this countdown, a large amount of online conversation has spurred up regarding what the announcement could be. This has generated a lot of publicity for Capcom through a simple countdown campaign, which has proven to be an excellent alternative to a detailed teaser. One fact surrounding this countdown is that the end date, the night of February 20th, coincides with the conclusion of a high-profile tournament for 'Street Fighter V,' meaning that this announcement is likely the reveal of the rumored 'Street Fighter 6.'
