Voice actor Brian Hadford, better known for voicing V in Devil May Cry 5, whipped fans into a frenzy yesterday after tweeting about the “next #CapcomVS game”. While the tweet could be interpreted in several different ways, many assumed it was hinting at a new title. After all, Capcom has had some outstanding crossover fighters in its history – why wouldn’t fans get excited?
Hadford issued a follow-up tweet, however, and noted that he has “NO KNOWLEDGE of any new Capcom games or the potential of what any of their games may entail. This tweet was about me being a big fan & seeing an Instagram ad about Capcom characters. Again, please understand, I am in no way teasing or revealing info.”
Hadford’s clarification doesn’t necessarily mean a new Capcom Vs title isn’t in development. However, if people assumed that it could be revealed soon, then this follow-up removes any possibility. Then again, if Marvel vs. Capcom 2 managed to get into EVO 2020 after years of fan requests, maybe there’s hope yet for a sequel.
The last major Capcom VS title was Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, which released in September 2017 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It faced a number of criticisms at launch for its gameplay, limited roster and shabby presentation. Several updates since released have helped to improve it, though it’s still considered on the lower end of Capcom’s best.
Let me be 100% clear, I have NO KNOWLEDGE of any new Capcom games or the potential of what any of their games may entail. This tweet was about me being a big fan & seeing an Instagram ad about Capcom characters. Again, please understand, I am in no way teasing or revealing info. https://t.co/9nO3sW823k
