Yahoo Esports Takes on Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s Story with Marvel Games Producers

One of the most notable aspects of development in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is the presence of the Marvel Games team in the process. Whereas previous installments of the series have been produced primarily by Capcom with Marvel holding the rights to decide which of their characters make the cut, it seems that this time they are sticking their hands deeper into the development mud that ever before.

Michael Martin from Yahoo Esports talked to executive producer Mike Jones and creative director Bill Rosemann of Marvel Games about the new title, and their role in the game’s production. The Marvel team seems to be mainly in charge of story, with Jones quoted as saying, “What we’ve never been able to do is tell the story about why these worlds are coming together,” and Rosemann further elaborating, “There’s a reason for everything. You’ll notice in the backgrounds it looks like the worlds are merged. The question is who did this? These are questions and mysteries that will be answered as you play the game.”
