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.

Capcom will unveil Marvel vs. Capcom 4 this week alongside Sony’s PlayStation Experience event, we’ve been told, 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.

Well...that's something.

I, for one, would like to see what Beef thinks of this.

Then why did they say it wasn't in development?

brinstar · Nov 28, 2016

put in jessica jones and luke cage please ;A;

purseowner · Nov 28, 2016

The MCU focus is disappointing, in that it could restrict the roster.

Excited to see new additions to the Capcom side though.

Tagyhag · Nov 28, 2016

It's still not officially confirmed but seems like it's all but that. Happy for its fans!

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 Capcoms 1994 fighting game, X-Men: Children of the Atom.

MADGAME · Nov 28, 2016

I hope the 2v2 rumor is true. Beefy, robust and inclusive roster please!

Because they wanted the announcement to be a surprise, most likely.

Sho_Nuff82 · Nov 28, 2016

I guess I should start playing ultimate again.

BC please.

DedValve · Nov 28, 2016

*deep inhale*

Fine, I'll get hype. Because Magneto is the hype.

Edit: fuck

Spinky · Nov 28, 2016

Fuck me directly in my left nostril.

My nipples are fucking quivering.

old tweets from someone most likely not working on the game

RPGamer92 · Nov 28, 2016

Please include Black Panther and Captain Marvel if it's MCU centric at least.

Permanently A · Nov 28, 2016

Press F to pay respects to magneto and sentinel.

Excited!
Yes Phoenix Wright and Frank West and no X-men and I'm all happy! Hope the MCU is represented 99.9%!

FireBeaver · Nov 28, 2016

It's happening.

phaonaut · Nov 28, 2016

Does this mean we can wrestle control of FGW back from anime?

Edit: Wait "multiple sources", but nothing from capcom. Also if there really are no mutants, its a sad day.

You don't just say what you're doing because someone asks.

Mpl90 · Nov 28, 2016

Is it just me or does Polygon's article not refer to it as "PS4/PC" exclusive, while saying "coming to consoles next year"?

EDIT: Actually, it's better to ask directly to them, and see if they'll answer.

WickedLaharl · Nov 28, 2016

WE can confirm 100% that the rumor is indeed still a rumor.

xzeldax3 · Nov 28, 2016

Ant-man will be GOAT

Luigi87 · Nov 28, 2016

"What do Wolverine and Mega Man have in common?" ~

That being said, PLEASE BE TRUE

Menitta · Nov 28, 2016

100 PAGES WERENT FOR NOTHING

BlizzKrut · Nov 28, 2016

Well, there it is I guess, let's wait for PSX.

New002 · Nov 28, 2016

Nice. Always enjoyed watching Marvel more than playing it, but I know a looooot of people have been waiting for this!

SolarPowered · Nov 28, 2016

Too bad we never got a PC port of UMvC3. I would have gladly taken that. They better have PS4/PC crossplay and rollback netcode on this sequel.

Regulus Tera · Nov 28, 2016

Holy shit it's real and it'll have Groot? 2016 redeemed.
