Capcom officially announced the latest sequel to the "Marvel vs. Capcom" saga as the fourth installment titled "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" has been revealed during the PlayStation Experience event last week, Gamerant reported. Capcom streamed a cinematic short of the sequel featuring classic characters Ryu and Iron Man, along with two new fighters Mega Man X and Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel.
The cinematic trailer will feature both Ryu and Mega Man X against Iron Man and Captain Marvel as both sides use Infinite Stones in battle with Ryu using the Power Stone and Captain Marvel using the Time Stone.
After the announcement of "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" in the PSX 2016 event, Capcom surprised gaming fans yet againsas they streamed the sequel's first gameplay trailer during the Capcom Cup. As seen on the trailer, the format of the sequel has now returned to its previous two-on-two format rather than the three-on-three team gameplay from "MvC2" and "MvC3".
"Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" also introduces that "Infinity Stone" system as Ryu unleashes a powerful version of his hadouken using the Power Stone, while Captain Marvel gets him right back with her Time Stone which some how increased his speed or seemingly slows down time within her vicinity.
