Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite may not have performed as well in sales as Capcom might have liked but the publisher continues to support the crossover fighting game. It’s announced a patch for next week that will fix a number of bugs relating to, for example, connection errors that occurred when performing continuous grabs in an online match.
Though most of the update’s features will release for PS4 and PC on October 16th and arriving for Xbox One later, all of the character changes will go live across the three platforms simultaneously. Character changes include bug fixes for Dante, Captain America, Doctor Strange and Dormammu. You can check out the full patch notes below to see what’s changing with your favourite (or most hated) characters.
It’s also worth noting that characters like Black Panther, Monster Hunter and Sigma will be available on October 17th to those who purchased the 2017 Character Pass. You can purchase them separately for $7.99 each and receive their premium costumes as well.
