Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order Assembles Two New Playable Characters

This is on my radar for sure. Hoping to see more gameplay of this title soon.

I wonder if Hawkeye's original look will be an alt-costume.

I really like that they are taking their cues from the comics and not the films. Gotta love Wolverine in that yellow jumpsuit.

Even if none of the villians are playable that’s still more than 30 confirmed characters.

EDIT: not counting the villians and characters that I couldn’t find the source of but I’m pretty sure are confirmed, there are currently 28 playable characters (couldn’t find the source of luke cage and black bolt. But in interviews it was stated that the defenders and multiple inhumans will be present and they where clearly hinting at the netflix defenders line up, not comics.)

I will wait for reviews but looks interesting so far

@darkswabber
Black Order Members: Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, Supergiant and Black Dwarf.
Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers*)
Miss Marvel (Kamela Khan*)

Fixed that for you

@Trellgoth thank you.

@darkswabber thanks for the list... was sadly lacking from article.

It’s a good list and a good start.

Punisher and Blade are two I’m hoping for... but still a good list without them.

no ghost rider I can understand but no silver surfer?

Really excited for this one! I think we're going to sink a ton of hours into it, can't wait for my issue to arrive!

Glad to see Nightcrawler but where's my fave Colossus? Hoping he'll get in due to appearences in the Deadpool movies.

Kamala Khan? Wasn't expecting expecting that, but most definitely cool!

I hope it got a great story and an enjoyable co-op play experience. So glad the characters take after the comic and not the movies.

Ms. Marvel’s costume is so cool.

@WomboCombo A consistently well-written newer Marvel character, with an attached audience, which is incredibly difficult to do. Marvel has a tough time doing this, but her book has that Marvel special something, like Spider-Man. Worth checking out.

Edit: Don’t get me wrong, I love Cable.

What's the chances this will have DLC extra Character paks?

I’d love to see dlc packs for this. Surely the fantastic 4 will get represented for a team of 4 dungeon crawler we need them all! The Thing is my go to tank.

But WHERE is Squirrel Girl?

Hopefully this game will be as good as, or better than Ultimate Alliance 2! I also hope we get some cool unlockable costumes.

@Darthroseman Way too powerful to be included in a game like this. It would completely break the balance to have someone like Squirrel Girl as a player character.

@WomboCombo He's apparently considered for MCU, so never say never.

@WomboCombo Miss Marvel is easily the top character introduced this decade (if not this century). She's earned her place in this game.

Honestly, at this point, Vision, She-Hulk, Hercules and either Scott or Cassie Lang is now officially my only must-have missing from the game. I'd love to see a few more deep cuts like Black Knight, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Hulkling, Wiccan, or one of the Runaways, or Moon Knight

Excited about this as never played an ultimate alliance game and can dig marvel action RPG. It is one of two games releasing near my birthday the other being Fire emblem three houses. So much to play in the middle of summer

@Solomon18 I expect will see a few more names yet. Both the ones you mention and possibly the fantastic four I would hope.

I really like the roster so far. I'm still hoping for Iceman though since he's my favourite mutant.
There is nothing from Fantastic Four so I'm thinking maybe a DLC themed around them would be cool (with Silver Surfer and Galactus of course).

@Darknyht THIS GUY GETS IT

I was interested in getting this but it comes out only a week before fire emblem which means it's gonna have to wait

For some reason I thought Hawkeye was already confirmed, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Anyway, Ms Marvel is a nice addition, and I also read that Wasp is playable too, but I guess that's not confirmed yet. If Wasp is playable, Ant-Man can't be too far behind either.

Still hoping for characters like Blade, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight, but we'll see. I think with this being a Team Ninja game, there will be plenty of DLC.

@Bizzyb

Since its a Team Ninja game, I'd say DLC is very likely.

If they don’t have ant-man I can’t get it...

Preodering payday

@Stocksy if ghostie n the surfer make an appearance I'm sold

Oh man, this roster is brilliant. This is a day 1 for sure.

@WomboCombo Yeah, I agree with the others about Ms Marvel. Her comics have heart, which a lot of the newer comics seem to miss other than Miles Morales’ comics. That being said, I’m a fan of the Champions including Ironheart, even though I understand why people don’t like her.

Maxamillian would be happy

@darkswabber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6vbLnuowcw
Daredevil just got confirmed at 7 seconds in.

I tried reading the Ms. Marvel origin story and I couldn’t get into it at all or her character. From that awkward “bumbling kid struggling to use their powers trope” to the embiggen catchphrase of hers, to the poor attempts at humor, to the unfolding story themes that was showing even less nuance than a CW show, there just wasn’t much to like. I don’t see what all the fuss is about.

I'm glad to see Miss Marvel here. She's a good addition to the Marvel family.

I'm also very glad this game emulates the comic book aesthetics and not the movie aesthetics, despite taking some design cues from the later.

Not necessarily a huge Marvel fan, but this game is shaping up pretty well. Here's hoping the final game is great!

I'm keeping an eye on this game. I don't think I'll grab it at launch, but maybe if it goes on sale.

No Carnage hurts me.

@link3710 I’ll update the list, electro was in the trailer too.

I'm not expecting some grade A game out of this, and no one should. It'll be a fun fanservice multiplayer game, and that's about it.

This and fire emblem have me set until the holiday season. I can not wait! Also W00t Ms. Marvel!!!!

@Darthroseman You can't have SG, the game would last like five minutes. You'd have the opening, it would fade to black and then you would come back and see SG standing over the corpses of all the villains.

I hope they add some MCU skins to the Game

Very interesting, the game is definitely on my radar.

Think I will pre-order and then cancel if the review are crap.

I was a big fan of X-men Legends and Marvel Ulimate Alliance, so I am definitely eager for this game. I'm especially glad that they're not trying to cater to MCU fans too much. Venom and Wolverine are enough to sell me on this game.

Pretty awesome roster. My favorite in Venom made it in, so I'm very happy. Daredevil is also a nice, semi unexpected character.

@Ooccoo_Jr I hope the yellow Biker's outfit is an alt., though...
Some of the movie looks don't look that bad. I love the comics, but it would be cool to see the movie looks as alternates (even secret unlockables, even).

@Onion They had me at:
Nightcrawler, Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-man, Doctor Strange, and really cool HD Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 version Captain America!

Day one purchase.

Hopefully they'll add more characters as they go. I'd happily pay for an Agents of Shield team dlc, or even just Quake.

@Bizzyb they'd be crazy not to!
