Additional Details

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is currently in development and will be available worldwide in late 2017.

I don't think it's real.

The picture is fake but the game isn't.

@jhazzroucher: How do you know?

I am excited too.

just check shoryuken.com for updates.

Marvel and Capcom characters will duke it out in a new crossover fighting game coming to consoles next year. Multiple sources tell Polygon that Marvel vs. Capcom 4 is currently in development and slated for release sometime in 2017.

Although Capcom hasn’t officially announced the game, we’ve been told the company will unveil Marvel vs. Capcom 4 this week alongside Sony’s PlayStation Experience event where the Capcom Cup 2016 Street Fighter 5 tournament will be held.

Fans of the series should expect Marvel vs. Capcom 4's roster of Marvel characters to draw strongly from the cinematic universe that Marvel Studios has popularized — and has full control over — during the past decade. That means fighting game fans will more likely see characters plucked from The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy films, and not from properties like the X-Men. Expect to see superheroes like Ant-Man and Groot make appearances, with characters of mutant origin — think Wolverine and Magneto — sitting out this entry.

A lack of X-Men characters in the next Marvel vs. Capcom would be a major departure for the franchise, which has roots that extend back to Capcom’s 1994 fighting game, X-Men: Children of the Atom.

The last game in the crossover franchise, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, was released in early 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A follow-up, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, was released later that year. Those games featured X-Men mainstays Wolverine, Magneto, Phoenix, Storm, X-23 and Sentinel as playable characters.

Capcom's license with Marvel expired in 2013, and the Marvel vs. Capcom games and their downloadable content were pulled from Microsoft and Sony's online stores at the end of that year. Capcom hasn't been able to make changes to the games since, despite pleas from fans to update the game.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's popularity among fighting game fans remains strong, however. The game is still featured at the annual Evo fighting game tournament, and we've heard that there may be good news for fans of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 specifically coming soon as well.

When we spoke to Marvel Games vice president Jay Ong earlier this year, he said the team at Marvel was well aware of fan interest in seeing another Marvel vs. Capcom game.

"There's nothing we can say at this time," Ong told Polygon at the time. "Let's just say that we hear that a lot. We love our fans and we certainly want to please them. Beyond that we can't say anything at this time. But who knows what the future holds?"

When reached for comment, a spokesperson told Polygon via email “Capcom does not comment on rumors or speculation.”

i would love to see Cloak & Dagger in the game.

If DMC5 didn't happen, this won't happen.

On the bright side of things, Itsuno's new project might be Dragon's Dogma 2. I hope.

Injustice 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 4 both in 2017?! Are they trying to start a war?! Seriously though, I think Injustice 2 will be the better fighting game.

>western devs in charge of fightan games

Please

injustice is like unheard.

Apparently the X-Men won't be in it. They'll put in more MCU characters over them. Most likely due to the whole Disney and Fox deal.

Marvel games on cellphones still include some x-men. If they won't include the X-men, then Doom won't be in it too.

Lupinko dropping characters who will be in Marvel vs Capcom 4!

>Roll

>Protoman

>Gwenpool

>Howard the Duck

>Hunter (Monster Hunter)

>Groot

>Kamala Khan

>Edward Falcon

>Asura

Marvel, DC, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Capcom, and Soul Calibur should all work to make one massive fighting game.

@mysticmedivh: I remember Capcom talked about wanting to make a DC vs. Marvel game.

There better be X-Men characters in there goddamn it.

Did anyone here actually like 3?

just please no Jane Thor.

But if it does happen, I hope Gene makes it into the game.

@shemail: This may seem like a weird pick, but I wouldn't mind having Blue Marvel in it.

Injustice 2, MvC4...now if they can just make DMC 5 happen...and give Vergil a more important role.

Please especially Ororo Munroe aka Storm, Wolverine and Magneto.

I didn't. Out of the 3 MVC games, 2 is the superior one by hills and valleys, IMO.

Those 3 are a must! Also, Gambit.

I swear if there are no X-Men and Marvel puts in some Agents of SHIELD Jabroni, I will riot.

Not confirmed, and Capcom fighting games have been complete shit after SFIV came out. Injustice 1 was pretty bad too. Not excited for either. Also Tekken = best fighting ever.

For the love of god, NO DMC5. EVER. The DMC reboot completely shat on the DMC franchise beyond repair.

Cyclops is one of the worst comic characters ever, besides Jane Thor.

Kabam was able to secure the rights to the X-Men in their deal before the ban, that's why Contest of Champions has mutants. The other companies weren't so lucky.

Yes of course. Awesome gameplay and graphics. The only reason it was getting negative reviews is because of 2 characters as DLC then releasing UMVC3 after 6 months I think and then the game was stopped.

The reason SFIV became a very successful because they keep on adding and balancing,. adjusting the game for years.

Please just, Nightcrawler for once. Please make him playable.

I'll make a full wishlist for what I want later.

BAD MEGAMAN OR RIOT

If there will be 10 x-men characters included, Kurt has a chance.

What makes you say that, because DMC4SE is proof of the contrary. All the fans want is a new DMC directed by Itsuno, just that. As long as those retards at Ninja Theory have nothing to do with the game, the hype levels should be through the roof.

I hope this is not true. :(

You browse /v/ too? Lel

That's not even the worst part, they want to make it even more casualised. Thanks AAA gaming, thanks normies.

@jhazzroucher: noooo

@sneffy said:

Well I hope Asura will be in it too. :)

@jhazzroucher: Preferably Asura and Yasha both, but I doubt that'd happen.

Is this real?

@jhazzroucher: it's a fan edit of a Tekken 7 poster

PSX tonight boys. I hope Itsuno reveals his new project today! It' either DMC5 or DD2...

Yay another unbalanced game in this overrated series

Trailer looked really bad. The animation was super stiff and awkward, and the choreography wasn't that great either. Also don't like how they seem to be bring the infinity gems back (RNG), or the fact that the game seems to be 2v2 instead of a 3v3. And, with everything turning out to be true so far, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "No X-Men" thing was true either. Super meh.

You are aware that it's not actual gameplay, right?

I think he/she meant the MVC3 trailer was better than MVC infinite, which is I agree.

oh yeah, for sure.

@peterparkerjr: it's been confirmed that there will not be

I know it's not gameplay. However, it's kind of easy to make an educated guess based on what's shown in the trailer. I'm actually more hyped for MvC3 on PS4 than this. This looked like something you'd make for a mobile game (seriously, I was getting extreme flashes of that mobile marvel fighting game).
