Fists up, a big fighting game mod is due out this weekend.Marvel vs Capcom Infinitecame out in 2017 and got some flak for its plastic figurine art style. But this year a modderbegan work on an overhaulthat would grant the game pretty cel-shaded visuals. Since then the modding team has grown to 40 people and the scope of the mod’s features has ballooned. It’s now going to include new moves, stages, costumes, and a chaotic-looking 2v2 multiplayer tag team mode. All good news for biff ‘em up sickos, as the mod is due to release on Friday.

We spy some of those new arenas too, which we’re told are “nods” to stages previously used in the series. I don’t play a whole heap of MvC, so I only recognise the wireframe training room from Street Fighter. Please don’t take my biff ‘em up badge. I worked so hard for it.
You’ll be able to grab the mod onthe team’s websitewhen it launches on December 20th, the creators say. “This was a labor of love from nearly 40 people over 8 months of work,” said Maximillian Dood, a streamer who commissioned the principal modder to continue work on the mod aftercatching wind of it back in May.
So there you go. It’s a neat overhaul. The cel-shaded style is used well to evoke manga and anime in the Arc System Works fighting games such asGuilty Gear Strive, so it makes perfect sense to me that an MvC game would look swish when done in a similar style.
