A spokesperson from Capcom has been quoted as saying Street Fighter V will never stray from the platforms that have already been announced, according to details provided by Gamespot’s Tamoor Hussain.

“There will never be a Street Fighter V on anything but PlayStation,” Hussain said of his interaction with the company representative, quickly following up with, “and PC,” when prompted by his co-host. “Never ever.”

This “scoop” shouldn’t come as much of a shock to anyone who has been following this title, as Capcom has all but stated Sony is backing Street Fighter V’s creation, but it does give some of the more suspicious fans a reason to stop rolling their eyes in this age of limited exclusivity. Their partnership also extends to this year’s Capcom Cup, which has seen a massive expansion of its prize pool thanks to Sony’s involvement.

Street Fighter V is currently in development. You can find our hands-on impressions with an early build here.

So, what do you think of all the Street Fighter V info that dropped earlier this morning? Crazy, right? Fortunately, if you can’t make it out to E3 or Community Effort Orlando, you won’t have to wait much longer to try it out for yourself.

Evo organizer Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar took to Twitter to announce that Street Fighter V will be playable on the showfloor at Evo 2015. Much like its appearance at Community Effort Orlando, this is sure to give our scene’s fighting game fanatics more than enough time with the game before it launches for PlayStation 4 and PC. If you were still on the fence about making the trip to Las Vegas, this may be just the push you needed.

Evo 2015 is scheduled for July 17-19. More details can be found here.
