Yes! That’s right, Capcom recently announced a confirmation that a third title in this epic of crossover fighters is in the works.

The last iteration was released 10 years ago and is still praised today as being one of the greatest 2D fighters, and definitely the greatest crossover fighter, ever released. You can imagine how excited everyone must have been with this announcement.

Not much is really known at this point though rumors are starting to fly which characters will be starring in this one. As of now, we know Wolverine, Iron Man, & Incredible Hulk will be making a comeback for the Marvel side with Ryu (Street Fighter), Chris Redfield (Resident Evil), and Morrigan (Darkstalkers) will be returning for the Capcom side. Though these are confirmed, expect at least 30 characters coming to the game with some hinted being Captain America, Super Skrull, Chun-Li, Deadpool, Felicia, Dante or Nero, Spencer or Wesker, Mephisto, Rad Spencer and Doctor Doom.

It’s also been noted that over 100 songs will be in this game, which includes remixes from the first two MvC games. Being the first 3D title in this series, one would expect it’s safe to assume it will look the same as Street Fighter IV, but Capcom has stated that it will run on the same graphics engine as Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2. In short, this game will kick ass and look beautiful. Capcom has also promised a deep and engaging storyline for the game.

No DLC has been planned yet but we can hope to see this game by spring of 2011 on the XBOX360 and PS3 with no plans being made for an arcade or Wii release as of yet.
