Rumor: Street Fighter V Merch Description Hints At Release Next Spring
Earlier today, a listing on Capcom's Unity site detailing PAX merch had a description hinting at a Spring 2016 release for Street Fighter V. That description has since been changed by Capcom.
The description, which you can see below in a screenshot grabbed before Capcom changed the text, originally read,"Everyone is fired up for Street Fighter V coming to the PS4 and PC next Spring. Until then, you can sport the official SFV key art T-shirt, which features Ryu in a heroic pose, for $25."
The text now reads, "Everyone is fired up for Street Fighter V coming to the PS4 and PC."

Our Take
The fact that Capcom removed the hint at the release window adds some credibility to the rumor, but it is still very much that – a rumor. With PAX happening now and E3 not too far off, I'm sure we will learn more concrete details soon. But for now, Spring 2016 seems like a pretty solid bet.
