When the X-Men characters didn’t get featured in Infinite, there was a huge debacle over it and it heavily hurt the game during the marketing phase. It’s arguable that fighting games are where these characters get the most love in the gaming world. Capcom Infinite, likely due to the film rights at the time. Unfortunately, they were omitted from Marvel vs. The X-Men were a staple to Capcom fighters all the way up to Marvel vs. Games like X-Men: Children of the Atom or Marvel Super Heroes showed just how much potential these characters had in fighting games. The question is, what kind of game would be the best option? With such a rich history of source material though, the franchise is just begging for a new game. Just the idea that these characters already share a world with Spider-Man and the Avengers is a bit overwhelming. The franchise is so rich with stories and characters, that it can easily stand alone from the Marvel universe. They’ve ranged from action adventure titles, to RPGs, and even fighting games. The X-Men have a pretty long history in the gaming world. Marvel strayed away from the brand a bit to focus on the MCU properties, but now that the Fox acquisition is fully settled, it’s really time for a new X-Men game. With that in mind, the last real X-Men game was in 2011 with Activision’s X-Men: Destiny.
The recent update for Marvel Future Fight put some spotlight on the team and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 utilizes the characters pretty well. With Marvel having more ownership over the X-Men brand again, we’re starting to see the characters sprinkled into more Marvel experiences.
