Modder Makes Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Easy on the Eyes

May 02, 2024 12:46 PM

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite fans have something to be excited about as a new mod aims to rejuvenate the game's graphics. Modder and artist Ryn has undertaken the project to revamp the 2017 title with a fresh, comic book-inspired aesthetic. The updates which include cell-shading techniques for both the characters and backgrounds, have been met with positive reactions from the community. Fight game aficionado and significant content creator Maximillion has also shown support by commissioning Ryn to further develop this visual overhaul.

This mod could breathe new life into Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, a game that was once criticized for its lackluster visuals. With the potential for a new look, fans are hopeful that it could reignite interest in the fighter genre and attract new players to the series. The excitement is building around this community-driven attempt to polish a game that, despite its initial reception, has maintained a dedicated fanbase since its peak with Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Is there a release date for the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite graphics update?

As of now, there is no official release date for the graphics update of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. The project is still in the early stages of development, but updates are being shared via social media by the modder, Ryn.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, part of the long-celebrated Marvel vs. Capcom series, was initially launched in 2017. It is the sixth main entry in the series, which traditionally features characters from both the Marvel Universe and Capcom's video game franchises. The series is known for its fast-paced fighting mechanics and the unique ability to create teams of characters to battle out in a tag team format. While Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite aimed to build upon the legacy of its predecessors with the introduction of new gameplay dynamics like the Infinity Stones, it received a mixed reception, particularly regarding its art direction. However, efforts like Ryn's mod show that the community continues to engage with and improve upon the game years after its release.
