Strider returns in 2014

Capcom have announced plans to reboot the {Strider} franchise with a side-scrolling action platformer from Double Helix Games set to release early next year on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One (no PS4 version announced at this point). Perhaps a lesson learned from previous remakes and reboots to keep the new game similar to the old one as far as mechanics go.

"The year is Meio: 048, on an alternate dystopian future of Earth. The whole planet suffers under the oppressive, iron-fisted rule of the mysterious and omnipotent Grand Master Meio. An expert in sabotage and assassination, Hiryu is the youngest ever recruit to attain a Special A-Class in the hellish {Strider} training program, and is the only man capable of achieving the mission to eliminate Grand Master Meio."

Back when Capcom were collaborating with Grin on the {Bionic Commando} reboot it was heavily rumoured that {Strider} would be the next game they'd tackle, nice to see Capcom didn't give up on Hiryu altogether.
