Capcom shuts down Sega vs. Capcom fan game

It is with great displeasure that I inform you all that the amazing fangame Sega vs. Capcom: The Next Level is gone now. Guess that means… Welcome To The Previous Level…

Indie developer 4Cyde Studios have received a formal Cease & Desist letter from Capcom, forcing them to take the game down and discontinue any further updates. Capcom, sadly, did not take well to them using their trademarks. The game is no longer available to download on the 4Cyde Studios website, but their YouTube page still has all their previously released videos on the game. If you downloaded the game before the takedown, you are free to continue playing it for as long as you can hold onto the game files. Sorry to any Linux users waiting on their build of the game, as it couldn’t be ready before the C&D notice.

4Cyde Studios have also put out a statement on YouTube addressing the situation, so go on ahead through the break to find out more about that.

Sega vs. Capcom: The Next Level fan game out now

Here’s a hot new fangame to file under “Awesome games that Sega won’t dare make themselves, for some reason.”

The highly anticipated fanmade crossover fighter “Sega vs. Capcom: The Next Level” has been released in its initial form on August 7th, 2026, but an update with more bugfixes was recently released the week after. One-man developer MadxRuler has released what they refer to as Season 1 of the game for free on the website of their studio, 4Cyde Studios, for PC and Mac. They’ll continue development in their spare time, doing balancing and bugfix updates, a Linux native port, and new characters and other content, but for now, the game features 10 characters, five from Sega and five from Capcom. The game takes elements from some of Capcom’s most beloved arcade fighting games of the past, including Marvel vs. Capcom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Capcom vs. SNK 2, and Street Fighter III: Third Strike, while adding in unique mechanics of its own. Guess that means “Welcome To The Next Level.”
