OF COURSE!

Following on from the information earlier this week that Legendary Leisure has acquired the movie and TV rights to Road Fighter, Capcom has confirmed {that a} model new film is within the works on the Dune, Godzilla, and Jurassic World manufacturing studio.

After all, there’s principally nothing else to go on — I’d be shocked if a script has even been tough drafted at this level — however we are able to probably count on the image to be a live-action affair, and to function a comparatively violent affair involving plenty of punches, kicks, and spinning piledrivers… Effectively, Possibly not the final one. We’ll see. Whether or not the occasions of the film will give attention to traditional SF adventures, embody trendy characters equivalent to Luke and Juri, or be some wild amalgamation of the universe is, for now, all up for hypothesis.

Capcom will little doubt be seeking to a minimum of match, (and hopefully surpass), the vital and monetary bar raised by Warner Bros. 2021 launch, Mortal Kombat. And given Hollywood’s growing lean in direction of “considerably good” online game motion pictures, SF followers can be hoping to see an genuine and thrilling journey that steps excessive above the poorly paced slog that’s Road Fighter (1994) and the head-scratchingly off-brand Road Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)

Within the meantime, we are able to all think about the upcoming launch of Road Fighter 6, a title that Capcom hopes will propel the legendary preventing franchise again to the forefront of the gaming scene. And given the preliminary response to the character roster, the brand new modes, and the vastly profitable beta checks, Ryu and friends are gearing as much as ship a complete new period of leisure for the 35-year-old franchise.
