Plot
Wishing to rid the world of all life, Ultron and Sigma unite. Using the power of the Reality and Space Infinity Stones, they fuse into a single entity known as Ultron Sigma and converge the Marvel and Capcom worlds into a single dimension. With the Marvel and Capcom worlds merged as one, they seek to rule all lifeforms by unleashing the Sigma Virus, which places them under their control. Meanwhile, bioterrorist Albert Wesker, seeking global saturation and immortality of his own, leads a second group of villains to secure the remaining Infinity Stones after obtaining the Infinity Gauntlet. Together, they unleash X-Symbiotes (Symbiotes fueled by the X-Gene via Juri Han while under Wesker's control) using the Third Energy Reactor, turning infectees into mutant B.O.W. supersoldiers and causing rifts in space and time.

Facing an apocalypse from the combined presence of the Sigma Virus and Third Energy-harnessed X-Symbiotes and the two evil factions, a group of heroes from the Marvel and Capcom universes, led by Leon S. Kennedy and Regina seek the help of Thanos to obtain the remaining Infinity Stones.
