"Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3" is resurfacing with its recent digital launch for the PS4. Capcom has now confirmed the game is also launching for the PC and Xbox One on March 7, the same day a limited physical edition will release for PS4 and Xbox.

The physical edition will only be available at EB Games at GameStop, Dual Shockers reported. It will cost $29.99 and will contain the base game, updated cover art as well as an exclusive comic which features art by Marvel veteran Sean Chen and Gerardo Sandoval.

Chen is primarily known for his work on the "Iron Man" and "Nova" comic books. Sandoval is known for his art in the "Venom" and "New Avengers" series.

The exclusive comic book will center around the conflict shown in the game. The Capcom blog reveals it focuses on "the story of two colliding universes featuring some of the most iconic Marvel and Capcom characters in its 10 full pages of action-packed story."

Both the digital releases on Xbox One and PC will cost $24.99. This is the same price for the digital version on PS4.

"Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3" is an updated and enhanced version of "Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds." The former updated the aerial combat mechanics as well as the X-Factor system. It also brought in both DLC characters and 12 new playable characters.

The game originally released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2011 and was a launch title for the PS Vita in 2012. The game was then pulled out of digital stores in 2013. This was done because the license for digital distribution for Marvel Comics had expired and Disney did not opt to renew it for Capcom.

A proper sequel, titled "Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite," will release this year for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. The trailer for "Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3" can be viewed below:
