Darkstalkers Resurrection, known as Vampire Resurrection (ヴァンパイア リザレクション Vanpaia Rizarekushon?)[3] in Japan, is an upcoming fighting game in the Darkstalkers series by Capcom. It is a compilation of Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge and Darkstalkers 3 and is currently under development by Iron Galaxy Studios.[1][4] The update features HD visuals, online multiplayer, replay sharing, spectator mode, and in-game unlockables. The downloadable title will be released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in early 2013.[5][6] As in the previous games in this series, the succubi sisters Morrigan Aensland and Lilith Aensland appear as playable characters and foes.

Gameplay

Darkstalkers Resurrection features online play and other new enhancements in the same respect to Iron Galaxy Studios' previous Capcom arcade re-releases Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition and Marvel vs. Capcom Origins. The game utilizes the GGPO netcode to provide smooth online gameplay.[1] Matchmaking follows in the footsteps of Iron Galaxy Studios' earlier products and introduces additional options such as region matching and ping display.[6] Aside from the standard ranked and player matches, Resurrection also includes an online tournament mode.[7] The game adds HD filtering with multiple viewing options, YouTube replay uploads, eight-player lobbies and a tutorial mode which provides in-depth tips to the mechanics of the game.[5] Players who complete in-game challenges receive points which can be redeemed to unlock bonus content via the "Vault" system, including custom artwork by Imaginary Friends Studios] Stanley "Artgerm" Lau concept art, videos, and other rewards.[5][8]

Development

Darkstalkers Resurrection was announced by Capcom executive producer, Yoshinori Ono, during the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary panel at New York Comic-Con on October 11, 2012.[6][9] According to Capcom USA senior vice president Christian Svensson, Resurrection had been in development for about a year before its announcement.[10] When the time to decide whether Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge or Darkstalkers 3 would receive the HD treatment arrived during planning cycles, Resurrection producer Derek Neal revealed that his team was "agonizing over which to release."[1] Due to the divide in the community's preference between the two titles, Capcom opted to release both instead as a dual pack.[1] Neal stated that games would be left unchanged in terms of balance and priority with the intention of remaining faithful to the original arcade versions.[8][11]
