Capcom opting for story-driven fighting games

Game developer and publisher Capcom, the minds behind the Street Fighter franchise, revealed via its community forums its desire to have higher-quality single-player experiences in its fighting titles, adding a more enthralling storyline and characters.

"The strategic marketing group here has for quite a while been pushing for our fighting franchises to have more and better single player content, of which full fledged story modes are one component. How and when those requirements manifest in our future roadmap, I’m not prepared to speak about at this time," said Capcom Senior Vice-President in reply to a fan’s post on the issue of more story-driven titles.

While Capcom currently has no official plans for a new narrative-heavy release, rumors have surfaced over the past several months concerning Capcom’s intentions to revive the hit Darkstalkers series from the original PlayStation.
