'MvC: Infinite's' visual design
According to Capcom's development report, the reason why the sequel's visual design looks that way because they want to impress North American audiences, and they have have been consulting with Marvel Games about its development.
"These discussions focused on not only core story and game elements but also tailoring the game to each market through meticulously fine-tuning the game's art, animations, and other elements to better reflect North American trends that differ from those in Japan," Capcom wrote.
Game producer Mike Evans noted that the game has a "cinematic" look to it as the Marvel characters resemble their MCU counterparts more than the comics.
For now, the game developers will launch three new DLC character costumes for the game and each pack will cost around $11.99 USD. But players can buy them individually for $3.99 USD, or get them all at once for $29.99 USD.
