Later this year, Marvel vs. Capcom is finally getting a new game for the current console generation. And while we suspected that the Infinity Gems would be a major part of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, we weren’t expecting Ultron and Sigma to be the game’s main villain(s)!
A new trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has revealed that this installment actually has a storyline behind the fusion of Marvel and Capcom’s universes. Ultron and Mega Man X‘s Commander Sigma have joined forces to exterminate biological life, and they’ve used the Infinity Gems to merge into a single being: Ultron Sigma.
The trailer also reveals Ultron Sigma has taken over Asgard and converted its mighty warriors into his drones. Needless to say, Thor is gonna have something to say about that! And he won’t be alone. From Marvel, Thor will be joined by Captain America, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon, and the Hulk, while Strider, Chun Li, Mega Man, and Chris Redfield represent Capcom in this trailer.
It’s unclear whether Wolverine, Deadpool, or any of the X-Men-related characters will make it into Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. But given the heavy focus on characters who are appearing in the MCU, it seems like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and even other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy aren’t out of the question. And while there’s no sign of Thanos yet, we can’t imagine that he’d sit out a fight over the Infinity Gems.
