Marvel & Capcom have finally released the latest, and fullest, story trailer for their next fighter.
We’ve known that the game will ram together both of the companies’ universes in some sort of plot, which is du jour for fighting games these days, but now we have the majority of those plot points filled in. We think? While Mortal Kombat and Injustice have been the landmarks for fighting game plots, it can be difficult when forcing together worlds that don’t normally coincide.
Now that we know that Jedah, Dormammu, Firebrand, and Ghost Rider are rounding out the roster (at about 30 so far), there should be a plethora of characters to choose from.
Here’s the complete list of modes, per Capcom, that will be available when the game launches on September 19 for PS4, Windows PC and Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft:
