Paramount & Legendary’s ‘Street Fighter’ Teaser Drops At Game Awards

Buzz is building for Paramount Pictures and Legendary’s Street Fighter.

A teaser of the video game adaptation starring Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, 50 Cent, Jason Momoa and wrestlers Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, has dropped at the Game Awards, and a helluva lot of action is on display.

Set in 1993 and helmed by director Kitao Sakurai, the movie version of the hit game sees estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Koji) and Ken Masters (Centineo) thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it will be game over.

The splashy adaptation’s teaser was on display at the Game Awards, which took place last night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Star presenters included Centino, Momoa, Orville Peck, David Dastmalchian and Liang, who debuted the teaser along with handing out the award for Best Ongoing Game to No Man’s Sky.

Sandfall and Kepler Interactive’s French action adventure game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 staked claim on the Game of the Year prize at the 12th Game Awards, while also winning Best Independent Game, Best Narrative and Best Art Direction.
