posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
CAPCOM began streaming a character trailer for its Marvel vs. CAPCOM Infinite PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC fighting game on Sunday. The trailer shows the characters Ryu, Mega Man X, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man in action, and also shows the Power Stone (which enables stronger attacks) and Time Stone (which allows teleports and more free attack chaining).
CAPCOM previously streamed a teaser for the game on Saturday featuring the same characters.
CAPCOM will release the game worldwide in late 2017.
The game will feature single-player Arcade, Training, Story, and Mission modes, as well as multiplayer content. The multiplayer content includes ranked and casual matches, global leaderboards, and online lobbies with a spectator mode.
In the game, players have 2v2 team battles. Players can also choose one of six Infinity Stones from the Marvel universe to influence the battle's outcome. CAPCOM stated that "each Infinity Stone will customize characters with unique abilities and powerful game-changing effects that can quickly turn the tide of battle." The Infinity Stones (then called Infinity Gems) last appeared in the series in CAPCOM's 1995 Marvel Super Heroes fighting game. CAPCOM is developing the game using Unreal Engine 4 technology.
CAPCOM has so far confirmed that the game will include Ryu and Mega Man X on the CAPCOM side and Iron Man and Captain Marvel on the Marvel side (Mega Man X and Captain Marvel are new to the series). The company will reveal more playable characters in the game in the future.
CAPCOM developed its first fighting game based on Marvel characters with the 1994 X-Men: Children of the Atom game, followed by the Marvel Super Heroes game. The games spawned the Vs. series, which saw characters from CAPCOM crossover with characters from other companies in a series of fighting games. Other Marvel crossovers with CAPCOM include X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and then the four Marvel vs. CAPCOM games. The Vs. series also spawned the CAPCOM vs. SNK games (crossover with SNK properties including King of Fighters and Fatal Fury), and Tatsunoko vs. CAPCOM (crossover with Tatsunoko properties including Gatchaman and Casshan).
