Yoshinori Ono still wants to make a Darkstalkers 4
Capcom is one of the most prominent makers of AAA title games. Recently though, their focus is stuck with four franchises. They had been focusing too much on Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter and Resident evil. Capcom has a large library of IPs that needed a revival. Recently they made a revival of Ghost N’ Goblins and it is great. The Great Ace Attorney is also getting a Western release but there are more Capcom Ips that needed a revival.
Darkstalkers 4
Former Capcom employee Yoshinori Ono is very vocal about how much he wanted to make a new Darkstalkers game. Yoshinori Ono is the one who made Street Fighter IV, the game that revived a once dead franchise. Here is a Tweet of him still expressing his desire for a Darkstalkers 4 despite the fact he doesn’t work for Capcom anymore.
I wish I could have made this happen…
I'm looking forward to the day when one of my juniors or former subordinates can make it happen. ;D https://t.co/ENZA5mAKeg— Yoshinori Ono (@Yoshi_OnoChin) July 22, 2021
He wanted to make a New Darkstalkers Game but the highers in Capcom put the fans in a situation that is not desirable. They made a Remaster compilation of the old Darkstalkers game that was remastered years ago. Capcom wants fans to buy a game they already own and that leads to unsatisfying sales. That killed the chance of making Ono’s vision not happen.
Darkstalkers have had no new game for years but whenever there is a Capcom crossover game, Morrigan Aensland is always there to represent the series.
It is Sad that now, she is just costume for Chun-li in Street Fighter V. Darkstalkers is Capcom’s answer to Mortal Kombat. It is more violent and over the top than Street Fighter but it has its appeal spawned three sequels. Every single Darkstalkers character can return for a sequel because it has a smaller roster than Street Fighter. They can also absorb characters from Red Earth to it’ roster just like how Street Fighter absorbed Final fight characters to its lore. Darkstalkers is a Fighting game with a Roster of Horror movie monsters and Folklore creatures from different countries. The Game is not known by the new generation but they can use guest characters Lady Dimitrescu to sell copies.

A Darkstalkers 4 will become a hit if they will make the Red Earth cast, Lady Dimitrescu and Geiru Toneido as guest characters. People will be buying copies like crazy,

I am kind of sad to see lots of cosplayers dressing up as Morrigan but never played Darkstalkers and never knew what game she came from.
