Manden bag Street Fighter IV, Yoshinori Ono, siger i et interview med EventsHubs, at Capcom ikke giver grønt lys til efterfølgere, medmindre deres forgænger har solgt mindst to millioner eksemplarer. Og det betyder formodentlig, at der ikke kommer mere Darkstalkers:
"We won't be releasing a new installment in the Darkstalkers series anytime soon. As we didn't manage to hit our sales targets for Darkstalkers Resurrection... so..."
Ono forklarer hvordan tingene foregår hos den japanske udgiver:
"...at the end of the day, there are just some brick walls that a salaryman can never overcome *laughs*. For instance, if a game doesn't sell over 2 million copies, then we'd have to put the brakes on any plans for a sequel. All that means is that we weren't capable enough. And all we can do after that is to reflect on the experience, take what we can learn from it, and try to apply those lessons on some other title."
Det betyder måske, at vi har set det sidste til Lost Planet, eftersom seriens tredje spil ikke engang rundede en million solgte. DMC Devil May Cry solgte 1,6 millioner og har ikke fået nogen efterfølger, mens Dragon's Dogma nåede 1,3 millioner - og der er ikke annonceret flere spil i den serie heller.
