Capcom has updated the Breath of Fire 6 website with this iteration’s version of the iconic lead character, Ryu.

The designs are a stark contrast to the previous Breath of Fire entries, with the game opting to go with a more mainstream approach in relation to the art direction. Personally, I think the new Ryu won’t look out of place in certain mainstream shonen manga locales like the one used in Magi or Fairy Tail.

Breath of Fire 6 is scheduled to be released sometime this 2015 for mobile platforms. You can view their promotional video below:
