Fans went crazy when Capcom announced that they were working on a fourth Marvel vs. Capcom game and new characters have also been revealed like Mega Man X and Captain Marvel. News has it that the game will also focus more on the story this time around - which makes a whole big difference since the previous games in the franchise had very little to do with a continuous story.
According to Gaming Bolt, Capcom's Michael Evans talked a bit about Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and he said that "Another huge pillar of the game is going to be the story. For the first time, we're getting to tell the story of how the worlds come together. Mega Man X is going to fit very deeply into the story along with Captain Marvel."
No details have been revealed about exactly how X will be integral to the story, but since he is part of a sort of robot police force, it's possible he could be brought in to try and fix the balance between the two worlds. This plot sounds very similar to that of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe where the game tried to justify the crossover between MK and DC heroes, but since Capcom basically started the entire crossover fighting genre with X-Men vs. Street Fighter back in 1996, fans won't be that harsh on the decision.
So far, the fans only know a few things about Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite but it has been confirmed that the character roster will include Ryu, Morrigan, and Mega Man X from Capcom and Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and Captain America from Marvel. The announce trailer also revealed that a new fighting mechanic has been introduced to the game, and it will have something to do with the Infinity Stones. In the trailer, characters were able to wield the stones and they were granted specific power-ups based on the type of stone that they possessed.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will be available for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC come 2017.
