SNK has re-released its classic fighting crossover, SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos for PC via Steam, with Switch and PS4 versions arriving tomorrow, July 22.
SVC Chaos was originally released in arcades in 2003, with PS2 and Xbox ports arriving later. The title was never previously released for PC or Nintendo platforms.
The game features a roster of 36 characters across various series from SNK (mainly King of Fightrers) and Capcom (mainly Street Fighter).
This version includes new rollback netcode and tournament modes, as well as a hitbox viewer and a gallery mode featuring 89 artworks (key art, character portraits, and more).
Speaking to VGC last year, the producer behind SNK’s biggest fighting franchises claimed there was interest from “all sides” in reviving the SNK vs. Capcom series.
The series hasn’t seen a proper instalment since 2003, partly due to SNK’s bankruptcy in the early 00s and pivot to pachislot machines.
Asked if he was interested in creating a new SNK vs. Capcom game, producer Yasuyuki Oda said: “Definitely in the future, that’s something that I think everybody on all sides, in both parties, are interested in making a reality.
