Marvel vs. Capcom 4 Reportedly Coming Next Year

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.”

This news started on NeoGAF and then started spreading among big name fighting game players in the competitive scene. Now all of the clickbait sites like Polygon and Gamespot are picking it up. So there is for sure some legitimacy to it.

And its not like Disney doesn't already have a long history of working with Capcom. Some of the best games on the NES where Disney IP games like Ducktales, Rescue Ranger, Darkwing Duck, and even Adventures in the Magic Kingdom has its moments.

I brought M v C "two worlds" or something like that..

Unfortunately when I opened the case the disks were wrong and I had been given an RPG called Rage. It had been months and the store I brought it from had closed.

That's my story.

Ps, I didn't like that street fighter game with all the anime.

Boo-loving-hoo
A publisher saying "Pre-order/day 1 purchase this game or else we won't make a sequel!" would probably garner a bit more sympathy if those same publishers weren't pushing out buggy incomplete jumbles that maybe one day can justify half the original MSRP for the GOTY edition.

It sold 1.2 million copies, which is really good, all things considered. The lack of patches/support was because of Disney cleaning house on their licenses, since Marvel's characters' rights were spread all over half of creation, and because Capcom's entire release schedule got hosed up post-Fukushima.

Because e-sports. Capcom and Sony have the groundwork laid to put an MVC4 on ESPN, which would do a lot of passive marketing for them.

They own the rights, they just don't want to give the characters exposure.

Disney have full control over who gets the rights to use their characters in games. They are just doing the same thing that they did when they cancelled the Fantastic Four comics and graphically killed them off in universe because they refused to give exposure if it would help Fox.

because people wouldn't give a gently caress about a Marvel-only fighting game unless they got a seriously reputable dev (like, Arc System Works or SNK) to make it.

That was emphatically not a joke.

The thing about Capcom is that, while they don't have many NEW titles, they've still got roughly 1 million characters in the well they could draw from. Like a Darkstalker that isn't Felicia/Morrigan/Lilith, more Street Fighters, more Final Fight characters, School Rumble characters, Onimusha...

...Didn't they make a game once about a robot fighting to save mankind?
