A few years ago, Capcom released Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, where it became an instant phenomenon with players, thanks to its multiplayer-style combat system and its line-up of super-deformed characters.

But it’s kind of weird how the only version of Puzzle Fighter we’ve seen in this generation is over on mobile, with a list of superstars that includes Dante from Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe from his self-titled game series.
However, we could be seeing a change very soon. A listing over at the Pan European Game Information Board (PEGI for short) indicates that Puzzle Fighter has been rated for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. It’s unknown if this is based on the new mobile version, or the classic Turbo edition that was so beloved in the previous generation.
Capcom hasn’t said a word about the game yet, but could make an announcement anytime between now and E3, to get players excited for multiplayer battles with a number of its characters. Hopefully it’ll come sooner rather than later.
Here are the features for the most current version of the game, based on the Google Play listing:
