Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 are now set to launch for Xbox next year following “technical discussions” with Microsoft, after the platform was omitted from Capcom's original launch announcements.
News of an Xbox release was conspicuously absent when Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 were announced for PS4, Switch, and Steam in June and August respectively, frustrating fans of Microsoft's platform.
Now, however, with the release of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics on September 12 approaching, Capcom has taken to social media to reveal that both upcoming titles will be coming to Xbox after all. “We're excited to announce that following technical discussions with our partners at Microsoft, we can confirm that Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will be releasing on Xbox One,” the publisher wrote.
Both titles are currently slated for a vague “2025” release on Xbox One, so it's possible that Capcom Fighting Collection 2 could launch around the same time as next year's previously announced Steam, Switch, and PS4 versions.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2, in case you're not familiar with it, includes eight games: Capcom vs SNK, Capcom vs SNK 2, Project Justice, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, Plasma Sword, Power Stone, and Power Stone 2. Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, meanwhile, includes the following titles:
- X-Men Children of the Atom.
- Marvel Superheroes.
- X-Men vs Street Fighter.
- Marvel Superheroes vs Street Fighter.
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2 New Age of Heroes.
- The Punisher
