MVC3 Shadow Mode DLC detailed

Test your skills against developer AI.

It's not even on the shelves yet, but the first batch of post-launch DLC for brawler mash-up Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has been confirmed.

According to the Capcom Unity blog, Shadow Mode will be a series of downloadable packs that will let you fight against "custom-built computer opponents, modeled after famous players and specific themed teams".

The game's producer, Ryota Niitsuma, will be first up, in addition to Shadow Mode teams for assistant producer Akihito Kadowaki and a QA team leader. More will then follow, including "some personalities you already know".

No price is confirmed yet but Shadow Mode will be up for download in March, closely following the game's launch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 18th February.
