Rumor has it that Capcom accidentally revealed the release schedule and platforms for the upcoming, official, fourth installment of
Street Fighter. According to a story on French gaming site
Jeuxvideo, Capcom inadvertently let the information slip on a press site that scheduled the 2/3D fighter hybrid for a winter release on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
While the general consensus is that
Street Fighter IV would make its way to next-gen platforms, a PC release is a surprise. While we could speculate that the rumor has weight due to
Capcom's recent admiration for the PC platform (with
Devil May Cry 4 and
Lost Planet releases), the well-known similarities in development for Xbox 360 and PC titles and USB being the primary input on all next-gen controllers, we're going to remind everything this one is just a rumor for now.
On a side note, with the popularity of the Cybercafé in the Eastern market a PC release would make sense. Just saying!
