The team behind the live-action series Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist have announced that they will be releasing a 5-part mini series to tie in with the release of Street Fighter V, titled Street Fighter: Resurrection.
The story takes place ten years after the events of Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist and will see Mike Moh (Empire) and Christian Howard (The World’s End) reprise their roles as Ryu and Ken and features Alain Moussi (Suicide Squad) as iconic character Nash.

Joey Anash had announced that Street Fighter: World Warrior would be the next phase in his Machinma series, but this has taken over as his top priority. Fear not, as Street Fighter: World Warrior is still on its way. “Street Fighter: Resurrection is a highly ambitious, action packed, live-action mini series which serves as a narrative prologue to the events of SFV,” he wrote on Facebook. “With the new game coming out and interest from both Machinima and Capcom for me to make a tie in, I couldn’t pass up such an exciting prospect to leap forward a decade after the events of Assassin’s Fist and write and direct a very contemporary part of the SF mythos. Featuring old faithful characters and brand new ones. The same level of detail and authenticity has gone into SFR as it has SFAF. I want to also address the subject of STREET FIGHTER: WORLD WARRIOR. Your passion and demand for seeing the direct narrative follow up to SFAF is understandable and heart warming. I spent most of this year completing detailed story development and structure for World Warrior. To pull together a production of that huge scale takes time. So rest assured SFWW is still coming! and to fill the gap until it is ready, you have SFR to look forward to.”
Street Fighter: Resurrection airs on Machinma in March 2016.
