Red Earth, released in Japan as Warzard (ウォーザード, Wōzādo),[1] is a fantasy-themed 2D fighting game released by Capcom as an arcade game in 1996. It was the first game for Capcom's CP System III hardware,[2] the same hardware which Street Fighter III and its derivatives ran on.[3] After not being released on a home platform for 26 years, it was announced on February 20, 2022 that Red Earth would receive its first port as a part of the Capcom Fighting Collection on June 24, 2022 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.[4]
