Capcom and Assassin's Fist Limited are teaming up to make a live-action series based on the Street Fighter franchise.
The series will follow a young pair of fighters called Ryu and Ken as they learn the ancient fighting style called Ansatsuken (or Assassin's Fist) and find out about the mysterious history of their master, Gouken.
The show is to be called Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist and is the creation of Joey Ansah, and is being developed by the team behind fan movie Street Fighter: Legacy.
"Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist will be what fans have been waiting for. Legacy was a taster; a glimpse of what a live-action Street Fighter should be," said Joey Ansah after the announcement. "This takes the story right back to the start - the origins and motivations of Ryu, Ken, Gouken and Akuma. This will become the definitive back-story from which further epic adventures will follow."
Ansah then stated: "Our priority is to stay true to the appearance, fighting techniques and canon of the Street Fighter game. At the same time we've managed to make this an emotion and character driven story, which will surprise viewers who might just be expecting a super faithful fight fest!."
