To kick-off this year's Game Awards, we got a look at the upcoming DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. This is the second DLC Pack coming to the game and will contain four iconic X-Men. These mutants include Phoenix, Gambit, Iceman and Cable.
In addition to this are new Gauntlet missions and a competitive Danger Room Mode. This pack will become available on 23rd December. You can learn more about it in the above video, and if you would like to try it out yourself, be sure to pick up the expansion pass for $19.99 or your regional equivalent. Keep in mind, these packs are not available for individual purchase.
Here's a brief rundown, courtesy of the official game site:
Dark Phoenix, the infinitely powerful cosmic entity from one of the X-Men's greatest sagas, unleashes an era of fiery destruction! Four more X-Men join the alliance with this DLC pack: Phoenix, Gambit, Iceman, and Cable. Plus, face-off against friends in the newly added Danger Room mode! Up to four players will compete to see who can take down enemies while being barraged by buffs and debuffs.

Really looking forward to this, mainly for Gambit. Absolute favourite character from X-Men.
@PBandSmelly I wouldn't say no to something akin to Rise of the Imperfects.
I like the character additions, but I'm just so disappointed with the direction of the DLC packs...
No new Story Modes, more Gauntlets, and the level cap is being raised to 200... I literally JUST finished raising my final 4-Man team to 150!!!
I really wanted to like this game, but it's starting to just feel like a "Grindfest" to me. I paid $20 and waited another 3 months, just to play another round of cheap ass Gauntlets. Also, to continue to grind it out on the same damn Infinity Trials. Padding at it's finest... Ruined my night!!!
DLC news for this game was my biggest anticipation for the VGA, however, I'm now strongly considering turning my back on MUA3.
@the4seer wait.... it did not feel like to grindfest to raise the levels to 150, but now it is too much? Man, I love the game, but there are better ways to waste time than to play it that much.
Some nice characters right here. I liked using them all in the Marvel vs Capcom games.
@Hrimfaksi Yes and No...
Yes, grinding multiple teams to 150 did feel like a chore.
No, I did not grind them out just for the sake of "wasting time".
The last Gauntlet from the Curse of the Vampire DLC is level 120. It's also pretty tough, imo. Grinding at least 4 characters to 150 definitely helps.
After that, there really isn't too much else to do in the game but level up characters. Also, it's the only way to gain AEP.
I love this game too. I think that I'm just a little burnt out... Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.
@the4seer I also bought the game recently, though it's fun, i see it more as a multi-player game with the option to play solo.
Bit strange they went with Phoenix and not Jean Grey but I’ll take it, only miss is Cable would have preferred Rogue or Emma Frost but more characters is always a plus!
I wish I could get excited for this DLC but the game gives me no incentive to play it. It's the worst sort of grinding, hours can go by and you won't make any progress at all. It's worse than most grind-fest pay-to-win iphone games and you don't even get the option of skipping the line. I'm a caretaker for my Mom, I don't have 200+ hours to grind away at the same three boring Trials just to attempt to unlock a new character or costume. What this game really needs is a download that completely changes the game engine to something that is actually fun to play.
We need a new marvel fighting game but built on the Dragon Ball engine and graphical style.
Yes! Characters I don't care about, so I won't feel inclined to get the DLC!
Yay more mediocrity! I regret buying this game.
Looking forward to this!
I traded this in after the first dlc pack. With no story content being added, I don’t have time for grinding as it feels like a waste of time (time is limited for me) when I could be playing another game and making progress through a story (stories in games are a high priority for me now when choosing what to play)
Cable? Gimme Rogue damnit
More than anything I was hoping for new story content but not surprised since the last batch didn’t give us that. The price is fine to me if it’s the new characters and the other tidbits but this games a weird one for me. I love the roster and how fleshed our each character is but the actual levels we have to play on aren’t so fun. The stupid levels where you dodge laxer grids, glowing switches on the ground to avoid darts, or one shot sniper beams are quite a slog. Not sure I’ll come back to this, maybe fantastic four will bring us something good.
DLC with no storyline missions/levels? And they want $20? Kind of a ripoff.
As usual I've been waiting for all of the DLC to drop before buying this, complete edition perhaps, but reading some of these comments, maybe I'll just play something else instead. Though I'd only be getting it to play multiplayer w/ my wife and kids, so maybe not as bad as all that. But I'm still waiting.
Gambit!!! Now I really need to pick up this game.
Still no Rogue? Not interested.
Nice but these are characters that could had been included in the game from the get-go.
Remember when Nintendo fans wanted complete games and hated on PlayStation and Microsoft for releasing dlc. Years later the biggest announcement other than a new system from Microsoft is Nintendo with DLC. That's comparable.

New stages would have been preferred, I agree. However, this looks promising to me. Let's hope that the new Danger Room Mode is awesome.
bought the DLC when I purchased the game because I was so hyped. Grinded to get Thanos… haven't played since haha
I was so excited hearing about this game as I love Ravensoft’s originals. MUA 3 is nothing but a glorified mobile phone game and is easily one of my biggest regrets. Disappointing AF
Loved this game, with its cratering frame rate during special moves, and all. Haha. Really enjoyed this game. Looking forward to doing another play through
All this stuff should have been in the game day one considering it was a full price release.
