It’s been nearly eight years since Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was released. Of course, some fans might not even count Infinite as truly being part of the MvC series since it felt so different from previous entries. For those fans, it’s been over 13 years since Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was released.
Though it’s been a long wait, we’re now seeing signs that Marvel and Capcom are willing to collaborate again with the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. It’s interesting to note that the collection recently released a new patch.
Perhaps the most unexpected thing about this patch is that it introduced new Marvel vs. Capcom themed artwork. It certainly is curious that Capcom is creating new artwork for games that were released over 25 years ago at this point.
Additionally, the latest patch added a total of four new songs to the game’s album. In one of his latest videos, Maximilian Dood highlights these points as being potential hints that Marvel vs. Capcom 4 could actually be in the cards.
Needless to say, Maximilian does a real deep dive into a number of possibilities. For example, the fourth song in the album is titled “Credits: Promise of Reunion.”
While all of this might be coming off as a “tin foil hat conspiracy theory,” there actually is precedent for Capcom doing this sort of thing before. Notably, Capcom released conceptual artwork for Mega Man 11 in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2.
At the time, Mega Man 11 hadn’t even been announced yet. Fans speculated that Capcom was hinting that a new Mega Man entry was in production with this mysterious artwork included in the collection. This theory turned out to be true.
