Fans of Capcom's crossover Versus series of video games are continually on the lookout for any new information regarding the franchise latest installment, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. A lot of gamers however have been wondering why the company had chosen to lessen the number of team members per battle from three to two. Now, Capcom has come out with an explanation regarding their decision.

During the game's official unveiling at the previously held PlayStation Experience last year in Anaheim California, it was revealed that the next game would see the return to a two character team format. The game's co-producer, Peter Rosas, recently explained their decision to go back to two-on-two battle system, as per a report from Segment Next.

According to the report, Rosas explained that the decision was to make the upcoming sixth main installment in the franchise a more beginner friendly title. The producer mentioned that the previous games actually had players make roughly six decisions in total before they begin a battle.

The selection of the third team member, which was specific only for his or her special ability, was deemed to be superfluous. Rosas further explained the return to a two member team would create more emphasis on partnership and a loyalty towards certain team-ups for players of the game.

As for the game itself, all of the characters that will be joining the roster have yet to be revealed. Capcom has already revealed some, but it is only a portion of the total lineup. Currently, the game has been revealed to be released within the year. However, Capcom has yet to announce a specific date.

Several reports have predicted that the brand new fighting video game title may be coming sometime during the latter part of 2017. Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite will be available for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC.
