Indeed, not only are we announcing the Special Edition, but we’re piling on the announcement of two new playable characters:

First, your favorite cap-poppin’ zombie-killer Jill Valentine is back for another round. She’s sporting her Resident Evil 5 battlesuit and packing serious heat. She’ll be joined by Capcom comrades Arthur, Nathan “Rad” Spencer, Wesker, Tron Bonne, Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Dante, Ryu, Morrigan, Chris Redfield, Felicia, Trish and Chun-Li.

Next-up is everyone’s favorite one-eyed demon Shuma-Gorath, famous for delivering his unconventional brand of tentacle-based combat with a little magic thrown in.

Finally, today is the day that we reveal the stunning new box art for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Check it out for yourself at the Capcom press center or Capcom Unity.

Adi Granov, the phenomenal artist that designed the armor for the Iron Man movies, is the cover artist behind this riveting piece. His unique approach to illustration with digital painting enables him to blend a near photo-real aesthetic with a surreal interpretation of texture and color. The result is a compelling art piece depicting an epic battle between Marvel and Capcom characters.

It’s an exciting package we have coming next year. Get set for the ultimate 3-on-3 faceoff when Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 15, 2011.
