Heroes and Heralds Mode for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Details

Heroes and Heralds, available as free DLC post-launch, is a new single player and multiplayer, team-based mode in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 where you unlock brand-new abilities with upgrade cards, customize your favorite character with new powers and compete in groups as either Heroes defending Earth from Galactus or as one of Galactus’ Heralds.

 While the game mode itself appears free, it sure sounds like you�ll need to purchase card packs to unlock the powers and customize your characters, doesn�t it? Let�s hope you unlock them through gameplay instead. It also seems that any characters can be on team Hero or team Heralds and all the characters on the Heralds� side have a Silver Surfer, power cosmic skin.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will take the epic battle to all new heights with 12 new characters from the Marvel and Capcom universes, a refined fighting system, eight new stages and new modes when it releases for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this November for the low MSRP of $39.99.
