The Servbots have been busy building the next iteration of Capcom’s classic Puzzle Fighter.

After a lot of hard work the fighting ring is almost ready and E. Honda will soon be opening his restaurant. Everyone here at Capcom Vancouver is incredibly excited that we’re working on bringing you the sequel to one of the most popular puzzle games of all time. We’ve developed this new mobile Puzzle Fighter from the ground up and have focused on modernizing the classic look and feel of the beloved arcade classic for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

We’ve invited many of your favorite Capcom characters to join the battle creating Puzzle Fighter’s outstanding roster of legendary characters and stages from popular Capcom franchises. One of the most exciting things for us has been being able to play with all the best toys in the Capcom Tickle Trunk (toy chest for you non-Canadians). We’ve been able to bring together fan-favorites characters like Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li from Street Fighter, X from the Mega Man series, Morrigan of Darkstalkers fame and of course Frank West and Chuck Greene from our own Dead Rising games. All of those classic Capcom characters and more come to life with voiceovers and cinematic special moves.

As a player you’ll pick one main character, each with their own strengths and benefits, to step into the ring. In addition you’ll have two assist characters that will enhance the abilities of your main. We’ve aimed for simple yet highly addictive puzzle action where you will strategically build up gems and destroy them to unleash epic combos that can knock out their opponent. We’re especially excited that we’ve been able to create real-time player-versus-player gameplay on mobile devices, bringing all the action of head-to-head Puzzle Fighter on the go.

Initially we will be soft launching Puzzle Fighter in select countries soon andthe team is working towards a global release planned for late 2017.

If you’re attending PAX West in Seattle this weekend, stop by the Capcom booth (#2309) to be one of the first in the world to get hands-on gameplay time with Puzzle Fighter .
