In celebration of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order arriving on the Switch, the Marvel Games panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con revealed Loki was joining the alliance on day one and also announced Cyclops and Colossus from X-Men would show up on 30th August.
This followed with a teaser of one of the three DLC packs from the game's Expansion Pass. It featured Blade, Moon Knight, The Punisher and Morbius from Marvel Knights. Thanks to a listing on Nintendo's UK store, we now know the official title and release date of this first DLC pack. It's called Marvel Knights: Curse of the Vampire and is due out on 30th September.

I’m really enjoying the game and I’m considering buying the season pass for sure.
@Xelha I'm not buying unless he does. XD
Aw hell... That cinches it. I'll have to buy this game now.
How delightfully obscure. Gwenpool next please. 😝
I’ll get it. I’m enjoying this game.
$20 Marvel Pass for an offline game: SpongeBob grossed out
$50 Call of Duty pass that breaks up the playerbase: SpongeBob with wallet out
Seems legit XD
@Xelha “I hangars for plaaasma!”
I'm enjoying the game, but most if the characters I have an interest in are already in the base game.
I'm just sad there isn't a Young Avengers pack. Ah well, plenty of other characters I love!
@Xelha Who were you expecting? Bela Lugosi?
@nessisonett would love to see some of the youths get represented, maybe they’ll do a Season 2 DLC. Would love Young Avengers, or The Runaways, or Squirrel Girl, or Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, etc.
i hope carnage gets announced soon.
I totally expected Blade and Punisher, but it's nice to see Moon Knight get a resurgence in popularity. He represents the darker, more mature and adult side of Marvel that I'd like to see explored in future comics or hell, even the MCU films. I've been hearing Keanu Reeves' name being tossed around in regards to potential actors joining the film franchise in Phase 4, and I always thought he would be either a great Moon Knight or Taskmaster.
Morbius is another awesome pick. I grew up knowing the character from the 1994 Spider Man cartoon, where he had a sympathetic personality and a really deep backstory. They're probably putting him in this game to capitalize on the fact that the Morbius movie is also in production right now as part of Sony's adjunct Marvel Universe of film properties. A good PR move, but a really cool and unexpected pick altogether.
Blade and Punisher speak for themselves
EDIT: OH BOY THE TIMING TASKMASTER'S IN THE BLACK WIDOW MOVIE AND MAHERSHALA ALI IS THE MCU'S BLADE NOW
All I ask in regards to the latter film is that Marvel Studios/Disney makes Blade R-rated. It'll do the character justice and it won't sacrifice any integrity to telling his origin story or conveying his character in full
I will seriously applaud for Disney if they have the balls to do an R-rated Blade film.
...20 bucks, eh?
I totally forgot about Morbius! Expected the other 3, The Punisher is the only reason I paid for Season pass. I've paid $20 for less content in other games.
I never buy DLC. On some games i buy the "complete edition" with all DLC on Card / Disc after having the standard version already though.
Moon knight, well that's settles it, I will definitely be getting the season pass now.
Punisher and Blade? Guess i'm getting this now, love these two characters.
@BlueBlur101 Keanu Reeves as Taskmaster is a good idea.
No thanks marvel is not allowed in my house
This game is a gift y’all, it is absolute gift.
How can the Punisher not be in the base game?
Haven't bought this game (...yet, maybe I will, a complete edition of some sort then). Maybe I'll just hook up my PS2 and play the Punisher on that again
Awesome! Now I can make a Midnight Sons team with Blade, Morbius, Ghost Rider, and either Punisher or Dr Strange. One of my favorite comic groups ever.
@Ryu_Niiyama I knew it was going to be good but man I'm hooked
@Shambo
Such am amazing game. One of the truly great licensed games of that era.
This game is awesome me and my son have been tearing it up was holding off on dlc but it’s got my boy the punisher so twenty well spent in my opinion.
I'm loving MUA3, in fact it's my favorite game so far this year.
I already bought the dlc. I thought it was just character packs, but having them titled (like Curse of the Vampire) makes it seem like there could be a bit more to them.
@CaPPa there's a new story and supposedly new game mode(s).
When can we go back to buying the whole game at one time?
@StevenG You can buy the whole game at once, for $60. For those of us who want to continue getting new content after release, I'll happily pay the devs for more. Thankfully, its optional though
@CaPPa eShop says it comes with story content too. I really wish we'd hear more about that and how long it is
Howling Commandos Next!
@MysteryCupofJoe Aaaand they just confirmed Taskmaster as the main antagonist for the Black Widow movie
But not being played by Reeves. There is still hope for Moon Knight tho
Also lucky timing on putting Blade in the expansion pack because of that film's announcement. Best of luck to Mahershala Ali, a wonderfully talented actor in my book. He'll crush it.
@Mando44646 If there are more parts, then that's not the whole game. Do you know what "whole" means?
@StevenG the game is complete as-is. That is the definition of whole.
If you buy a full cake, that is a whole cake. If someone later comes by and throws some Oreos on top of it or adds additional frosting that it didn't need, that doesn't make the original cake any less of a complete purchase. You simply gain additional toppings on the cake
@Mando44646 No the game is not complete. If they sold you a cake missing a slice and then wanted to sell you that slice later, you would be rightfully upset.
They left out these characters to sell later.
@StevenG You'll need to prove that "they left out these characters to sell later." All indications are that they are, in fact, being made after the game's release. Thus why the first pack doesn't launch for several months.
If you can prove otherwise, I'll agree with you. Until then, a full cake is a complete item. Adding another slice to a full cake doesn't make the original cake less complete
@Mando44646
Here is a the proof,
They are game characters being sold later. Tada!
Are you this really this gullible? They are intentionally doling out content to get more of your money. You people will defend anything.
@StevenG that is a terrible argument. I don't know why you oppose content being made and sold after a game releases. I will gladly buy new content for my favorite games. A year and a half later, I am still playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey because new paid content keeps getting released, and I am very happy to keep diving back in for it.
If you don't want it, don't buy it. I'm not sure why its worth complaining about
@Mando44646 Because it's a scam.
Because I do want the whole game.
Instead of doling it out over 18 months, sell it all at once. You are getting scammed and are happy about it.
