Update 3: As reported by Do You Even Game Bro, a Capcom has said classification issues has lead to a February release date here in Australia.
“Due to Marvel vs Capcom 3 receiving a higher age rating in the ANZ regions the team have to make some minor changes to the rating settings of the game in order for it to release and as such there is unfortunately a delay,” a Capcom representative said. “We hope to be able to release the game for players of 15+ age in February and will have more news soon. We apologise for the delay in bringing the game to fans in this territory.”
Update 2: Despite the good news of a classification, a Capcom representative has suggested to Stevivor that we won’t see Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on PS4 until early January 2017.
We’ll, as always, keep you posted.
