Comprised of seven titles from Marvel vs. Capcom's storied history, the reveal came entirely out of the blue. However, the announcement did, unfortunately, lack one thing — a release date. Now, thanks to a UK retailer, that mystery is no more, as it looks like the game could be released in November.

ShopTo Leaks Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Release Date

In a pre-order listing for the new game, UK online retailer ShopTo suggests the game is releasing on November 22, 2024, a little over three months away. A leak like this, this close to Gamescom, suggests the game and its release date will potentially appear at Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live, which is set for Tuesday, August 20.

Prior to this leak, the only indication we had about Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection's release date was the stinger at the end of the trailer shown above, which states "2024". The game's official website still suggests that the game is coming out in 2024, and Steam lists the title as "Coming soon".

The collection, which goes under the name of "Arcade Classics", features seven games in total - X-Men Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of Super Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 New Age Heroes, and side-scrolling beat-em-up, The Punisher, which previously only released in arcades and on the Sega Genesis.

The collection is set for release on the Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation consoles. However, the game is conspicuously set to miss Xbox, with engineering problems cited as the reason for missing Microsoft's platform.
