Delisting
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds was delisted from Xbox 360 Games on Demand in December of 2013 alongside Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The delisting was announced on the Capcom-Unity forums on December 13th, 2013 with specific dates per region:
- 12/17 for PSN in North America (MvC 2 and Ultimate MvC3)
- 12/19 for PSN in Europe (MvC 2 and Ultimate MvC3)
- 12/26 for XBLA globally (All titles)
No explanation was given but Capcom’s license to Marvel properties was clearly the cause for the delistings.
Nearly one year later in December of 2014, Capcom’s remaining digital Marvel title, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, would be delisted on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Shortly after that, on January 1st, 2014, many of Activision’s Spider-Man and X-Men titles would be delisted. Similar expired licenses from Marvel were the cause for all of these delistings.
