Background:
The first Marvel vs Capcom game was released back in 1996 and quickly became a fan favorite among gamers.

The gameplay involves selecting three characters to form a team and battling against another team in 2D fighting style combat.
The Latest Release:
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite was released in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. Unfortunately, it did not receive the positive reception that its predecessors had received. Critics and fans alike criticized the game for its lackluster story mode, poor graphics, limited character roster, and bland gameplay mechanics.
What Developers Have Said:
Since the release of Infinite, there have been no official announcements about a new installment in the series from either Marvel or Capcom. However, developers from both companies have made statements that suggest that they are open to creating another game in the series.

Capcom’s producer Yoshinori Ono also expressed his interest in creating another game in an interview with Eurogamer back in 2018. He said “I am interested in doing something again with the Vs series in the future.”
