Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Coming Exclusively to Switch Next Year

This may explain MUA and MUA 2 getting pulled

While there were a number of exciting moments during this year's Game Awards, perhaps one of the more memorable ones for us was the reveal of a new Ultimate Alliance game, aka MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order. It should come as no surprise that plot of this game - following on the heels of "Avengers: Infinity War" - revolves around Thanos and his collection of cult-like followers, the titular Black Order.

Aside from being the first new Ultimate Alliance game in 10 years, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 also sports some new playable characters not previously featured in the series, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Scarlet Witch. The game is also being released exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, which may explain that digital delisting a few months back. Based on what Nintendo is saying, four player drop-in/drop-out campaign co-op will still be a main feature in a variety of configurations (couch, WLAN, online, and combo).

No release date has been announced yet, but hey, at least there's something else to look forward to in 2019!
