Pokemon Day 2022 Bringing New Announcements | GameSpot News

In today’s episode of GameSpot News, Persia talks about new Pokemon announcements heading our way, new content for Rainbow 6 Siege, and more.

The Pokemon Company announced its plans for the annual Pokemon Day fan celebration, and this year it's not limited to a single day. The company announced that instead we'll see a week of announcements "from across the franchise" leading up to the actual date on February 27.

Ubisoft is kicking off Rainbow Six’s first season of this year with a bang. Demon Veil, is adding a new map and permanent game mode to the competitive shooter, along with a new Operator who can rebuild defenses.

Azami is a Defender. With medium speed and health, Azami is unremarkable save for her gadget, the Kiba Barrier. The Operator can throw kunai that release gas in a small circle where they land. That gas then solidifies into a bulletproof surface, providing quick cover.

Capcom has officially announced Street Fighter 6, the next entry in its popular fighting series. A teaser trailer shows a very shredded-looking Ryu preparing to fight Luke, a DLC character from Street Fighter V.

In addition to Street Fighter 6, Capcom announced the Capcom Fighting Collection, which includes 10 classic fighting games. It launches June 24 for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC.
