Capcom just announced a title update for the Marvel vs Capcom Collection, as well as the Capcom Fighting Collection. This update is slated to hit the game this week and will add new features, quality-of-life enhancements, and much more to the experience. We don’t have the official patch notes yet, but they did release a trailer showcasing many of the additions.

This short video gave an overview of most of the changes being made to the game for players to get an idea of what’s to come. Launching this Wednesday, April 16, the Marvel vs Capcom title update will allow users to choose between three different versions of X-Men vs. Street Fighter for the arcade that change up the gameplay and balance.

The upcoming updates to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and other fighting game collections aim to revitalize these classic titles with a suite of modern enhancements. One of the most notable improvements for MvC2 is the introduction of an adjustable internal resolution option, designed to boost significantly the visual fidelity of the game’s 3D elements.

This feature will sharpen textures, smooth out jagged edges, and enhance the clarity of stage backgrounds and character models, breathing new life into the game’s iconic hybrid 2D/3D aesthetic. Players can expect a crisper, more polished experience that honors the original art direction while leveraging modern hardware capabilities.

Further elevating the competitive experience, Versus Mode enhancements are being rolled out across all titles in the fighting catalog. This update streamlines match setup, allowing players to customize victory conditions with greater flexibility. Users can now set the number of required wins to secure a match victory, with options for sets up to 10 total victories for extended competitive sessions. This feature caters to both casual players seeking quick skirmishes and tournament organizers planning structured brackets, ensuring seamless adaptability for diverse playstyles and event formats.

Additional quality-of-life upgrades include quick reset functionality, accessible directly from the pause menu. This allows players to instantly restart matches or training scenarios without navigating through multiple screens, reducing downtime and keeping the focus on gameplay.

Alongside these technical improvements, the company is enriching the collections with exclusive new artwork by legendary illustrator Shinkiro, renowned for his evocative, painterly style in classic Capcom and SNK titles. These pieces will be added to the games’ galleries, offering fans a fresh visual celebration of beloved characters and lore.

The auditory experience is also receiving attention, with newly remixed music tracks joining the soundtracks. Standout additions include Cap-Jams versions of character themes for Captain America, Cyclops, Jin Saotome, and Captain Commando, reimagining their battle anthems with modern arrangements. These tracks will be available as bonus content, complementing the original OSTs while providing a nostalgic yet refreshed audio backdrop for matches.

Importantly, these updates are not limited to the Marvel vs. Capcom Collection. They have confirmed that the Capcom Fighting Collection and the forthcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2 will also receive many of these features, including resolution options, Versus Mode upgrades, and art/music expansions.

While no specific release dates have been announced for the latter collections, the commitment to cross-title support underscores the company’s dedication to preserving and enhancing its fighting game legacy. Together, these changes promise to bridge retro charm with contemporary polish, ensuring these classics remain vibrant for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Many of these changes are coming not only to the MvC collection but also to the Capcom Fighting Collection and upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
