The centerpiece may have been the announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, but Capcom didn't come to PlayStation Experience 2016 with just one announcement. The publisher is bringing the last Marvel vs. Capcom game, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, back to players everywhere! The game is being released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!

Vanilla Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was released in 2011, with the Ultimate version coming to store shelves a year later. The game has been absent from PlayStation Network and Xbox Live since December 2013, probably due to rights issues. With MvC Infinite in place, it seems Capcom has the rights to release Ultimate MvC 3 again!

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is available for PlayStation 4 today, with the PC and Xbox One releases coming in March 2017.

M.H. Williams is new to the journalism game, but he's been a gamer since the NES first graced American shores. Third-person action-adventure games are his personal poison: Uncharted, Infamous, and Assassin's Creed just to name a few. If you see him around a convention, he's not hard to spot: Black guy, glasses, and a tie.
