We’ve learned the engine that Capcom is using to build Street Fighter V, and it’s not an in-house one.

Straight from a press release via Epic Games, we’ve gotten confirmation that Street Fighter V is being developed in Unreal Engine 4.

Capcom producer Bochan Kim talked up the decision to make the fighter in Epic Games’ engine:

“Our goal with the next generation of Street Fighter is to take our beloved fighting game franchise and bring it to our fans in the best way possible. In order to fully deliver on that promise, we know we have to incorporate the latest and greatest technology available, which is why we partnered with Epic Games to power Street Fighter V using Unreal Engine 4.”

Epic Games Japan territory manager Taka Kawasaki chimed in as well:

“I have been a very loyal fan of this historic franchise since the debut of the first Street Fighter in 1987. This opportunity to help the development team using Unreal Engine 4 for the new title is a great honor for Epic, and I couldn’t be more proud. We know that the expectation level of fans is extremely high, so the support staff of both Epic Japan and Epic HQ have been providing dedicated support to help the team realize the very best performance from Unreal Engine 4 and deliver the highest quality experience to players.”

Street Fighter V is coming to both PlayStation 4 an PC, and it’s also supporting cross-platform play between both development platforms.
