Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is now available worldwide on the Nintendo Switch. To celebrate launch day, the Marvel Games panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con has revealed new information about the additional characters coming to the game.
The brother, enemy, and antihero Loki is joining the alliance on day one and this will be followed by Cyclops and Colossus from the X-Men series on 30th August.
Nintendo also teased what's to come for the three DLC packs, by showing off Blade, Moon Knight, Punisher and Morbius from Marvel Knights. There'll be two other DLC packs comprised of X-Men and Fantastic Four, and you can gain access to these by purchasing the Expansion Pass.
Have you got your hands on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 yet? Are you looking forward to playing as Loki, Cyclops, and Colossus? Tell us down below.

Cool beans, probably could have been placed in the last article though.
MOON KNIGHT.
It’s great that there’s a queue of free post-launch content coming to go alongside the great DLCs.
Punisher's inclusion is so cool. He's almost never in any Marvel games.
GOTY confirmed.
Pre-ordered with the season pass. Kind of a sucker for these kinds of things.
Gambit, Jean Grey, Iceman and Jubilee in the X-Men pack please!
As a fellow Moon Knight, Marvel Knights is where it’s at!
Extremely hyped for Colossus, but so much more hyped for my stern boy Cyclops. I just pray they're adding in the Black and Red X costume. Definitely gonna dive into this one.
@Sakisa What about Beast )':
@Hinade I’d swap Iceman out thinking on it, but I need the others.
Just....give...me... Gambit!!!!!bbqsaucewtf
Sweet! Moon Knight is back! My all-time favorite character in the MAU 1. The others from Marvel Knights should be awesome too.
Cyclops, that is all I need. The other characters are cool too, but cyclops is my boy.
@shonenjump86 Optic blast!! Optic blast!!
@Robzilla I am sorry, but I didn't understand that. Maybe if you say it a little louder and more times.
Dr. Doom better be a part of this.
@Robzilla lol, I never get tired of hearing that in the Marvel vs Capcom games.
Colossus and Moon Knight make me very happy indeed! Still sad Vision and Jessica Jones aren't playable, but at least they're in (unlike the other Jessica, Cloak, Dagger, and any Young avengers/runaways).
As for who the others are, I'll go with Kitty Pride / Shadowcat, Emma Frost, Bobby Drake / Iceman and Remy LeBeau / Gambit for the X peeps, and the FF is self explanatory.
From the X-Men DLC I want Gambit, Cannonball, Quicksilver, Toad and Omega Red.
From the FF DLC I hope we get Norrin Radd and Victor Von Doom playable.
@Keywork sometimes I wonder if its bad everyone wants everyone but the fantastic 4 team for their dlc
@edgedino I absolutely want the Fantastic 4, they’re dope.
Great dlc so far and nice to have some freebies as well. The fantastic 4 and I’d like to get iceman, gambit, beast, archangel. I’d be fine with Bishop and jean to tho.
@Sakisa i wouldn't be surprised if they were added as part of free dlc when the paid part of it comes out so it ends up being surprise characters
Can we get Squirrel Girl at some point, though?
I've just got notification that the game is ready for pick-up today (expected it on monday) AND we'll be getting additional characters via free updates - two great MUA3-related news on the same day.
@Kalmaro What last article?
@Damo WheThe review I mean, this would have been a nice addition to it imo.
Punisher and Blade YES!
Should be in main game but I’ll take it....
Silver surfer and ice man would be nice!
90s had a lot of stupid superhero designs, but they definitely worked wonders for Cyclops.
I can hear the BEHOLD just from looking at him.
Punisher alone is enough to get me to buy the season pass.
What a rather low key announcement!
I’ll leave
@Kalmaro yeah, but then those people who want news but didn't plan to read the review wouldn't have seen it.
@link3710 That's fair, I suppose. Though, if they don't want game news then why even come to this site?
I wonder if Loki is just part of the day 1 patch or needs be downloaded separately?
@commentlife
"MOON KNIGHT."
That is what honestly pushed me over the fence to buy this lol
@NOOGA nice! Before the line up was announced, my hope for mains was Moon Knight, Punisher, Daredevil and Ghost Rider.
@commentlife Ghost Rider and Daredevil are in the game already
Sold Aug. 30th... Collossus.
Cool! I’m playing with Deadpool, star lord, Spider-Man and wolverine right now.
This sounds really sad but I’m waiting til the DLC is released before buying. Not because I intend to buy the extra content (though I might) but because I want to see how it’s handled. Basically, if they show the DLC characters on the main select screen in a ‘look who you could play as if you give us more money’ thing then that’s a huge no-no for me. I don’t mind DLC but when they rub your face in it then it really winds me up! Fighting games are the absolute worst for this!
