According to a reliable source, Capcom is preparing a new Darkstalkers game. This same source indicated that Resident Evil 6 was coming and would star Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy, something that was proved out as true.

Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken producer Yoshinori Ono is said to be working on the new Darkstalkers game. The unannounced game is being made with a modified version of the Street Fighter X Tekken engine, and Ono has reportedly been working on it since late in 2011.

While characters from the monster-themed fighter have made several cameo appearances over the past several years, most prominently in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the last game to release in the franchise was Darkstalkers 3 in 1997.
