Capcom has announced that ‘Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite’ will be coming to Xbox One, PC, and PS4 sometime in late 2017. The game is the latest title in the ‘Marvel vs. Capcom’ series, the sequel to 2011’s ‘Marvel vs. Capcom 3’, which was available on last gen consoles Xbox 360 and PS3. Unlike previous games in the series, this title may forego the ever so popular X-men characters in favor of characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as super hero Captain Marvel, who’s set to get her own movie in 2019. However, this has yet to be confirmed.

The console announcement trailer pits Capcom’s Ryu and Mega Man against Marvel’s Iron Man and Captain Marvel, as the 4 trade blows and blasts back and forth, and we see Capcom’s heroes pursuing and using Marvel’s Infinity Stones, of which the game gets it name. Not much else has been mentioned in the way of other characters, but the game will no longer use its staple 3 vs. 3 formatting, instead going with a more simple 2 vs. 2 player system. The game will also feature a cinematic story mode which will put players in the middle of both universes, and was built with Unreal Engine 4, with should definitely be a major improvement upon previous titles in the series.
