LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The Nintendo Switch video game system is about to get a lot more heroic. MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order is heading exclusively to the Nintendo Switch system for Super Hero gaming action at home or on the go. The new game, which arrives nearly 10 years after the previous installment in the series, is being developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES/Team NINJA and published by Nintendo. Nintendo made the announcement with a trailer shown during The Game Awards in Los Angeles.

MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order brings together Super
Heroes and Super Villains from across the Marvel Universe to battle for the
limitless power of the Infinity Gauntlet, one Stone at a time. This
unprecedented team of characters must use their unique superpowers to defeat the
mad cosmic tyrant Thanos and his ruthless warmasters, The Black Order. The game
will feature an original story and a playable cast of dozens of Marvel Super
Heroes, including the Avengers, the X-Men, and—for the first time in series
history—the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The new game features the same kind of action-RPG gameplay that made the
franchise such a hit over a decade ago. In MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The
Black Order, up to four players can drop in for co-op battles in a variety
of ways: They can play online*, link up offline via local wireless or pass a
Joy-Con controller to a friend to join the team. With another pair of Joy-Con
(sold separately), four players can team up on one system. In addition to the
series’ traditional perspective, the new entry will let players select a
dynamic, zoomed-in heroic view, allowing for a more immersive play style for
single-player or multiplayer when using multiple systems.
“As longtime fans of the franchise, we could not be prouder and more excited
to bring back ULTIMATE ALLIANCE with its biggest game yet,” said Mike
Jones, Vice President & Executive Producer, Marvel Games. “MARVEL
ULTIMATE ALLIANCE is all about teaming up with your friends and creating
your own ‘dream team’ of Super Heroes to go on adventures across the Marvel
Universe, and Nintendo Switch is perfect for delivering on that promise of
cooperative gameplay and shared experiences.”
“The MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE games have been beloved by fans for more
than a decade, and this new installment on Nintendo Switch will deliver even
more of the thrills and heroics that the franchise is known for,” said Doug
Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“Thanks to our partnership with Marvel, the fate of the Marvel Universe will
literally be in the hands of Nintendo Switch players, whether they’re at home or
on the go.”
Additional details about the game will be announced in the future.
