Capcom has said Ultra Street Fighter IV will be released on consoles internationally 'soon after' the game's debut in Japanese arcades.
The publisher confirmed on Friday that the game will hit arcades in Japan in April 2014. Digital versions for consoles will go live in North America and Europe "soon after" that.
While holding off giving an exact release, the firm says the game will be out before 2014's Evo tournament, .
Capcom explained that the release is still months away due to the extensive changes it's making to SFIV.
"We've been working hard to ensure that this is indeed the most openly influenced version of SF yet," said the firm. "Just on Capcom-Unity alone there was well over 20,000 comments that we had to go through to make sure that the most beneficial changes made it in, while also pleasing the fans."
Capcom announced Ultra Street Fighter IV in July. The Xbox 360, PS3 and PC update will introduce five new characters, six fresh stages and new modes and features.
It will be released as both $14.99 DLC for existing Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition owners to download, and a $39.99 physical disc version with "all DLC costumes for all characters released until now" and "future content" to be confirmed.
Capcom recently released a new video highlighting the new mechanics being introduced in Ultra Street Fighter IV, including the Ultra Combo Double, Red Focus Attack and the removal of Unblockables.
