We look forward to working with CAPCOM throughout the next couple of years to bring to the market the best products possible.
“CAPCOM’s fighting games have such a significant history, which has left an unmistakeable mark in the video game industry. The opportunity that has been granted to us to allow us to bring even more life to the characters in these games, and their stories, is a great honor to us.
