Still a Switch exclusive: crazy, right?
You’ll be able to relive yourX-Men LegendsandUltimate Allianceglory years all over again very soon, asMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Orderlaunches in July exclusively on the Switch. Nintendo revealed the new release date on Twitter alongside of a look at the official box art, which is very reminiscent ofMarvel vs. Capcom(tag out to pay respects) in all the best ways.
The cover gives us a look at some obviously confirmed MCU characters like Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Iron Man, on top of X-Men like Storm and Wolverine. Sony even gets a bit of love with Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales, and FOX (now Disney, haha) has representation with Deadpool. Video games do what Hollywood can’t.
In that same reveal tweet Nintendo reminds us that the plot of the game deals with the Infinity Stones, which will be three months after the Infinity Saga is resolved withAvengers: Endgamein theaters later this month. This could very well be one of the biggest years Marvel has ever had.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3is curiously being handled by Team Ninja, who worked with Nintendo onHyrule WarriorsandFire Emblem Warriors. Previously the series was helmed by Raven Software and Vicarious Visions, both of which are technically still alive at Activision
