As expected from people following the leaks, it seems the 30th character in the base roster is Ghost Rider, back from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3!

...And he's been revealed via a variant cover and Twitter. Expect gameplay during Gamescom.

Ghost Rider joins the #MVCI roster at Gamescom on 8/22, but this week he's alongside Morrigan in our Defenders variant cover!

Via Twitter.

Currently revealed roster:

Reuse my assets if old.

 

[Neoxon]

Is that Bengus art?

 

[JayEH]

Capcpom really knows how to do hype function reveals.

 

[jon bones]

wait no Robbie Reyes boooo

 

[Brian_FETO]

Is that Bengus art?

That's what I was thinking

I actually dig it

 

[FluxWaveZ]

What a way to be announcing fighting game characters.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

That's some rad art

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

wait no Robbie Reyes boooo

I'd be very surprised if there's not a Robbie skin.

 

[Slightly Live]

Spines don't do 90 degree angles.

 

[Neoxon]

That's what I was thinking

I actually dig it

If so, this is what happens when you don't rush Bengus. You get sick-ass art out of him.

 

[Reverend Funk]

And the crowd goes wild!

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Is that Bengus art?

Supposedly a "BAPTISTE" variant? I don't recognize the signature.

 

[jooey]

wow, Ghost Strider

 

[RecRoulette]

Capcpom really knows how to do hype function reveals.

We will never forget you Omega Red Function

 

[Briarios]

I know people are raging on the roster, but I don't hate it. I just would have liked a few more female characters and a couple unexpected choices.

 

[Drayco21]

Glad its still Blaze. Looking forward to seeing how they change him up.

 

[BY2K]

What is happening with Morrigan's hips?

 

[BitStyle]

More cover reveals...

It still boggles my mind why we can't have character trailers like MvC3. Those were great.

 

[Jake2by4]

List is pretty underwhelming.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[katsubento]

Bengus is still awesome.

 

[I-hate-u]

Whip function will be an excellent addition to the game.

New game, who dis?

 

[Neoxon]

You know that's Marvel's fault. And even then, they'll probably be DLC next year thanks to the ban lifting.

 

[Blueblur1]

Just another function.

 

[JayEH]

I'm unfamiliar with this.

 

[katsubento]

Probably a Marvel Idea. But still would love trailers.

 

[jon bones]

 

[Askherserenity]

These pictures of covers posted on Twitter really bring the hype.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

I wish this game had Captain Commando & War Machine.

 

[Harpoon]

Did they have no marketing budget for this game? Compared to MvC3, they have not been doing so well at revealing characters--where are the kick-ass character trailers?

 

[rtcn63]

Now just add Gooey Gus

 

[yukimeans_snow]

woo finally a new character

WHOO?!

 

[Vanish]

holy shit Capcom, you can't even afford to do character reveal trailers?

 

[tolkir]

No need of Inhumans characters.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Someone help that girl, her back is broken!

 

[Fersis]

mhmhm 30 characters at release seems a bit low for a team based game.

EDIT: Oh yeah, its a 2 characters team now. Totally forgot about it.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

No need of Inhumans characters.

Inhumass

 

[GuitarAtomik]

That cover is dope.

 

[Neonep]

Announced the last 3 characters on twitter because there aren't anymore events until Gamescom and they realized that these covers are coming out sooner than their announcements.

They should have just did a random stream to show off the game and then during the stream just revealed it and after the stream dropped a character trailer.

 

[McNum]

Morrigan looks quite happy that Ghost Rider is bringing leather, chains, and fire her way. I'm honestly not surprised, she probably does consider that a good time.

or drop a trailer of a character or two characters every time the cover came out. It's not that hard to capitalize on the hype.

 

[Fury451]

Well that's certainly one way to get my attention about this game again.

wait no Robbie Reyes boooo

No room for fake Ghost Rider

 

[BadWolf]

Fighting game character reveals without trailers is just wrong.

 

[Neonep]

Or that too. It's like they know they could do better.

 

[Sesha]

Sick cover, although Morrigan's Excalibur hips and broken back are weirding me out.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Less than a month left before the game drops, anyone else left to be announced for the base roster?

 

[Neptonic]

the most exciting way to announce your character that we assumed would be in the game since he was in the last one

 

[lucebuce12]

Less than a month left before the game drops, anyone else left to be announced for the base roster?

Venom and Monster Hunter

Spoiler

as DLC.

 

[Neonep]

No, it's probably done. Any character reveal from this point forward will probably be DLC.

 

[Retro Edge]

Still don't care. It's dead for me.
