Today Capcom announced the release date of the first two DLC characters coming to Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, and it's quite soon.

From the Marvel universe we get the king of Wakanda himself, Black Panther, while the Capcom universe brings forth Mega Man X antagonist Sigma.

Both characters will be released on October 17th alongside with their premium costumes.

They will also be included in the 2017 Character Pass alongside the Monster Hunter, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and Venom.

With the addition of Black Panther and Sigma the roster will grow to 32 characters, and it'll get to 36 by the end of the year, thanks to the four more coming down the line.

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is currently available for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
