By “home consoles” we’re assuming Bandai Namco is referring to he PS4 and Xbox One at this point, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see hints of a PC version one day. The Unreal Engine 4-powered arcade port features a whole new dramatic storyline, much enhanced visuals (compared to previous installments), and we’re sure new fighters and environments and more.
Take a look at the announcement trailer from earlier today.
