Prove You’re a True Believer with Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite!
Every so often a game comes along that is so unbelievably awesome that no one special edition can contain it. Today is one of those days, thanks to the announcement of Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, which Capcom had confirmed will launch with not one, but two, awesome super-sweet special editions.
The Deluxe Edition, retailing for $89.99 US, includes the game and six downloadable characters, upsetting True Believers desperate to show the world that Marvel is far cooler than DC, but only get six bonus characters to Injustice 2’s nine.
Retailing for $199.99 US, the Collector’s Edition placates True Believers by offering more than the zero statues included with Injustice 2. How many statues can you get for $199.99? Four! Plus five real life Infinity Stones! Get them while they’re hot, before the new Avengers movie has the entire world wanting their own.
For your information, Silent Protagonist has included Capcom’s announcement below.
As exciting as our prior Marvel vs. Capcom fighting games have been, we’ve never seen a true fusion of the two iconic universes. Yes, heroes and villains crossed the stream, so to speak, but did we ever truly see the heroes cross swords? In Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, not only will combatants from both sides be hurled into chaos, but they’ll also be hounded by the game’s titanic new threat – Ultron Sigma, a fusion of two of the most menacing mechanoids from the Marvel and Capcom universes, crossed swords and then took it a step too further.
It’s just one of many selling points for MvC:I, which will officially release on September 19th, 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. And once you’ve (presumably!) saved the universe in Story Mode, you’ll be so disappointed in Capcom’s inability to tell a cohesive story (again) that you’ll have to force yourself to play Arcade, Training and Mission modes, plus various multiplayer offerings, naturally.
And who’s fighting to save the day? We’re pleased today to announce the following additions to the MvC:I roster:
Some villain the last Avengers movie was named after.
The supporting hero from that new Thor movie Marvel is desperate for us to promote.
The main hero from that new Thor movie Marvel is desperate for us to promote.
That guy from Avengers who can’t support his own movie but we swear has to be cool because…Jeremy Renner.
The little raccoon looking guy from the new Guardians of the Galaxy, because we’re saving Baby Groot’s reveal for when we need more publicity.
Some Capcom characters, I guess?
Pre-orders begin today, and there are three different ways to join the fight against Ultron Sigma.
Standard Edition ($59.99 MSRP)
Pre-order the Standard Edition and receive Warrior Thor and Evil Ryu Premium Costumes because we need to make it look like we care about fans who don’t waste their money on shit. Oh and the game, obviously.
Deluxe Edition ($89.99 MSRP)
Pre-order the Deluxe Edition and receive the main game, the two aforementioned costumes (Warrior Thor and Evil Ryu) and two additional costumes – Gladiator Hulk and Command Mission X! The Deluxe Edition also includes the 2017 Character Pass, which gives you access to six post-launch characters – the first one being the composite character we created because we’re out of ideas.
Collector’s Edition ($199.99 MSRP)
Pre-order this bad boy and you’re gonna be the proud new owner for FOUR detailed, interlinking dioramas from TriForce, plus five real life, 100% real, proper, legitimate and not at all fake Infinity Stones* and the Deluxe Edition of the game. Make some room on your desk before you pre-order!
Check with your individual retailers for details in Europe and Australia, as some offers may vary.
* Legally we need to clarify that the Infinity Stones aren’t real. We’re doing it here because people who are willing to spend $200 on a video game are dumb enough to not read the fine print.
Look for Silent Protagonist’s review of the Infinity Stones this September.
