Finally, some official Marvel vs. Capcom news! Announced in a post by Peter “Combofiend” Rosas over on Capcom-Unity, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on September 19th. Along with this information, Capcom have released a story trailer for MvC:I, along with a list of eight characters that will be joining the roster. Before you go checking, they are indeed the same characters that were leaked yesterday by French website Jeuxvideo. They are (again):
- Ultron
- Hulk
- Thor
- Hawkeye
- Rocket Raccoon
- Chun-Li
- Strider Hiryu
- Chris Redfield
This story trailer also confirms the existence of Ultron-Sigma, who was teased at the end of the first MvC:I trailer, and is now confirmed to be the game’s main villain.
That’s not all in terms of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite news, as we also have information on its limited and deluxe edition, along with its 2017 Character Pass. If you pre-order the Standard Edition of MvC:I, you will gain access to the Warrior Thor and Evil Ryu Premium costumes. One can guess that the Warrior Thor costume will probably relate to his new look in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok movie.
The Deluxe Edition will cost $89.99, will come with the Warrior Thor and Evil Ryu costumes, as well as the Gladiator Hulk and Mission Command X costumes. You will also gain access to the 2017 Character Pass if you buy this edition, which will give you access to six post-launch characters. The first of these will be the Megaman villain Sigma.
For the Marvel true believers, there is the $199.99 Collector’s Edition which comes with all the previously mentioned digital goodies, as well as four interlinking character dioramas of Megaman X, Chun-Li, Iron Man and Captain Marvel, along with special LED-powered Infinity Stones.
Pre-orders are now available, and expect more MvC:I news in the coming months, as we finally have a release date!
