Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is hitting PlayStation Network later than we expected. Capcom sent word to us earlier this morning that the title would be available via the PlayStation store on August 13 — many moons from the July 29 Xbox LIVE Arcade launch date.
While this isn’t a delay, we were surprised to learn the release date wouldn’t be closer to the XBLA date. Capcom released a PlayStation 3 exclusive demo for the title in late April, which to us indicated some sort of special brawler bond between Capcom and Sony.
We reached out to Capcom PR about the later date and we hope to hear back from them soon, but in the meantime, here’s some speculation: Siliconera believes the release date has something to do with the now-yoinked GameStop Collector’s Edition version of the game. Manuals do take time to print. We’ll let you know when we know.
