This is coming from Maximilian's Twitter, but he isn't one to fake these sort of things.



This would fit with from what we know. In that Division 2 was planning a new Fighting Game of some sort.
Also fits with the idea that Capcom seems to really be pushing the IP revivals over new IPs. Which isn't a bad thing, considering some of these IPs have been dormant so long that bringing them back is almost like having a new IP anyway. Then there's the factor of Darkstalkers despite not having any new game for quite a long time has always stayed in the public eye. Whether it was through crossovers, merchandise, or easter eggs.

So what is your take on this? Is this just Ono trolling and perhaps we're getting Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers or some other Capcom Crossover fighter instead? Or will they finally make good on that promise all those years ago?

If this happens, I hope it'll live up to my extremely low expectations. Either way I'll be glad to see that series again.

I believe it this time. Capcom's been on a hot streak with its fighting games lately and I have the utmost confidence that Ono will bring us a new Darkstalkers. Putting in my pre-order now.

If they do a Darkstalkers game I hope they don't just reuse the artstyle from SFV and go for something totally different and more in line with Dark Stalkers. I'd love actual sprites or something in that vein but I know its foolish to hope for anything like that.

I want a Capcom fighting game that isn't held back by bad business partners. Go for it.

I'll believe it when I see it. Coming from Ono, a known liar and terrible at teasing things, who made the last Capcom fighting games worse than before (in various and different ways), and someone who's not even boss of his division anymore?
Yeah right.

Capcom has to be shook. SFV wasn't up to expectations, no? MvCi bombed. CAPCOM, I want Darkstalkers. Not as a fighting game, I want something like Anarchy Reigns. Flipped Resident Evil on it's head, flip Darkstalkers, give me some story, some anime horror.

As someone who wants this to be true more than anything, my heart can't take another sf5 level launch. I hope Capcom continues their good streak and comes out of the gate swinging like with what they're showing us with DMC5 and Megaman 11

I've always loved Darkstalkers' cartoon-y horror aesthetic and wanted to give it a shot. Really hoping this is legit.

A while ago, I mentioned to my friend that I wanted the UNIB update to come to Steam (it was only on PS4 originally). They announced it for Steam like two days later.

This morning, I mentioned to him that a new Darkstalkers still hasn't happened after Ono's tweet from years ago.

*Crosses fingers*

I will probably upload the picture when I get home, but I could also try to find my post when we were posting our bingos here but I am too lazy

Even if Darkstalkers gets made, it'll get sent out to die with no marketing and probably have some sort of controversy attached to it that turns hardcore types away. The cynic in me believes they'll find a way to screw it up.

And nothing will come out of this. Don't trust Ono words.

Just let us have Darkstalkers Resurrection on XB1 BC if you're not going to do anything with the franchise...

As long as the SFV team isn't working on this it might be good if it turns out to be real of course.

Darkstalkers created the anime fighting genre. And now Ono about to kill it by ruining Darkstalkers. Time is a circle.
