With Sony co-developing and publishing Capcom’s Street Fighter V, the game is only coming to PlayStation 4 in the console spectrum. However, that isn’t stopping Capcom from envisioning the fighter having long legs this console generation.

When speaking to MCV, Capcom brand manager Brian Ayers revealed the developer is positioning the game to last an entire console generation.

“We want Street Fighter V to last a console generation,” said Ayers. “That’s a very brave move from the business side of things. But that is how we are looking at the product as well.”

He continued: “It’s not: ‘right, get it out, it’s the first six months and then it’s done’. We’re talking lifetime on this now in years rather than quarters, which I think is quite telling in itself.”

Capcom previously stated that Street Fighter V will launch with 16 characters, and that the original game disc (or download) is the only copy of the game you’ll ever need. Coming from this, all gameplay related post-launch DLC can be earned free with in game currency.

Street Fighter V is launching on February 16th across PC and Playstation 4.
