Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds has shipped two million copies globally since its launch in February 2011, Capcom has announced.
The game marks the first instalment in the celebrated beat-em-up series for 11 years, with the previous entry, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, releasing for Dreamcast back in 2000. A PlayStation 2 and Xbox port later popped up in 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Said Capcom: “With an 11 year gap between the last entry in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, demand for a sequel was at an all-time high, and expectations were soaring. Capitalizing on the resurgence of the fighting game boom that began last year, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was able to exceed its predecessor and ship 2 million units worldwide.”
In addition, the company also confirmed that fresh characters and costumes would arrive in the shape of PlayStation Network & Xbox LIVE Marketplace DLC later this year.
