It’s apparently going to be longer than the Marvel vs. Capcom one too
Capcom fighting game fans have been eating pretty good lately between Street Fighter 6 and the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, and that’s going to carry over into 2025 too.
The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is set to release sometime next year, and we just got our first look at what players can get their hands on for picking up the game physically.
Announced today, a Capcom vs. SNK comic book is being offered as the pre-order bonus for the upcoming compilation, which makes sense considering they just did the same thing for the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection.
The company showed off the first look at what is presumably the cover art featuring Ryu and Kyo Kusanagi up front followed by Samurai Shodown’s Haohmaru and Rival Schools’ Kyosuke.
And then instead of Mai and Chun-Li squaring off in the back, they have Morrigan stepping up to the plate instead.
Their post also confirms the comic book will be 48 pages long, making it quite a bit longer than the Marvel one they just released that had 32 pages.

Considering they say the comic will come packaged in the box, that means it’ll also likely be quite small like the MvC comic as well to fit in the Nintendo Switch box.
One of the other major complaints Capcom received about the current comic was that it was only widely available to buyers in the United States / North America with little communication beforehand, so they’re getting out ahead of that now by saying other regions are to be announced.
Another point of interest is only the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions are listed here as getting the comic.
Obviously the PC version isn’t getting a physical release, but this makes it appear as though the Xbox version will not be launching alongside the others or will not have a boxed copy available.
This comic is also being handled by Udon Entertainment instead of Marvel staff unsurprisingly.
The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is set to include eight titles in total between Capcom vs. SNK, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, Power Stone, Power Stone 2, Project Justice, and Plasma Sword.
An official launch is slated for sometime in 2025 for the PS4, Switch, Xbox One and PC though no solid date is set yet.
Starting today, pre-order the physical edition of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 for PS4 or Switch and get ready to battle! Secure your copy and get a 48-page Capcom vs. SNK comic in the box* while supplies last!
*Available in the US (other regions TBA)
