Earlier today, Capcom announced that Street Fighter V will be coming exclusively to PS4 and PC. Although not much is known at this point in time, Capcom has stated that further information concerning SFV will be available in the form of a gameplay trailer later this month on December 13th, 2014. The footage of this new edition to the franchise will be shown at the finale of the Capcom Cup which will be available for streaming at twitch.tv/capcomfighters. Here are some quotes from Capcom and Playstation about this exclusivity:
“Throughout all of our discussions with Sony Computer Entertainment, it is clear that we share a mutual belief that the fighting genre has a huge opportunity for growth,” said Matt Dahlgren, Capcom’s Associate Director of Brand Marketing and eSports. “The announcement today is just the first step, of many, in creating the next generation Street Fighter experience our fans have been asking for.”
“Partnering with Capcom to deliver one of the most popular video game franchises of all time as a console exclusive to our PlayStation family is a huge undertaking and an honor we take incredibly seriously,” said Adam Boyes, VP of Publisher & Developer Relations at Sony Computer Entertainment America. “We can’t wait to show Street Fighter and PlayStation fans what we have in store for them.”
