Capcom has tightly associated itself with the Fate/Stay franchise in Japan with two cutesy looking PSP games and Fate/Unlimited Codes in the arcades. On December 18th Fate/Unlimited Codes comes home on the PlayStation 2. Geneon has the rights to Fate/Stay Night in the USA, but I didn’t think the series was popular enough for Capcom to even consider publishing the game internationally. A release is far from confirmed, but there is a sliver of hope in a statement said by Christian Svensson, Vice President of Strategic Planning & Business at Capcom. On the Capcom Forums Svensson said, “It has a chance of coming but no announcements have been made yet.”
That response is sounds a lot more positive than a straight out “no” or admitting to passing on the game twice. The 2.5D fighting game has a sharp style that may be marketable to fighting game fans regardless of their exposure to Type-Moon’s franchise. If you are a Type-Moon fan let you voice be heard and tell Capcom you want Fate/Unlimited Codes.
