Capcom Announce Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

by Adam Cook on July 20, 2011

In a similar manner to the way Street Fighter IV had iterative incarnations, it seems that Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is to receive the same treatment, as Capcom have today announced a “rematch” of sorts for MvC3!

This new incarnation is in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and adds 12 new legends to the robust Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster, bringing the total overall roster of characters up to 50. The first new characters revealed for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 include much-requested Capcom character Strider who slashes his way into the fray along with Ghost ‘n Goblins villain Firebrand. On the Marvel side, Ghost Rider will finally exercise his vengeance and Hawkeye will pick apart foes. More characters will be revealed in the coming months.

In addition to characters, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 features a host of enhancements and new features to improve the game’s balance and online functionality. One of the biggest additions to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the fan-requested Spectator Mode, which allows fighters to watch live online matches together. With multiple improvements and 12 new characters, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 brings home the ultimate fighting experience for newcomers and pros alike.
