Capcom will once again team up with Machinima for a live-action limited web series, following “Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist”. “Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist” managed to pull in over 17 million views in aggregate across the 12 episodes of the series’ run. News about the tie in series titled “Street Fighter: Resurrection” emerged recently when a trailer for it was revealed by the developer Capcom. “Resurrection” will serve as a tie-in with “Street Fighter V”. Mousi’s Nash is targeting renowned “Street Fighter” champions for unidentified reasons and Ryu and Ken are intent on finding out why, Variety wrote.
The miniseries’ story is set ten years after the events of “Assassin’s Fist” and features majority of the same cast, GameSpot added.
