Though the screenshot doesn't answer this question outright, we can confirm that the game's graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves, locations, and gameplay features, while the standard six button control scheme remains. Ryu and Ken return along with Chun-Li and Dhalsim, but beyond that the character roster is a mystery. And then there's the issue of what platform(s) the game will end up on, which at this point Capcom is keeping close to its chest (if you search 1UP's database, you'll find listings for arcade, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but those are just guesses based on the graphical quality).

Dear Kratos,
Sigh. We're really not trying to come off as the obsessive ex and we know it hasn't even been a year since our last fling, but we just can't get you, your tats or your bald head out of our minds.
Like a stare from Aphrodite, you've put a spell on us.
Sure, our separation won't last too much longer -- God of War: Chains of Olympus arrives in March -- but we thought we'd contact you ahead of time and tell you what we want -- nay, need -- in our next relationship with you. Don't get us wrong, our last two "get-togethers" have been amazing, but it can't just be about action all of the time.
A gamer needs substance. Please look over our laundry list below, and feel free to format our memory stick anytime.
Hugs.
