Switch exclusive Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 just got a release date New game coming shortly after Endgame. News by Martin Robinson Editor-in-chief Updated on 16 Apr 2019 11 comments The unexpected continuation of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series that was unveiled late last year now has a release date, with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order coming exclusively to Nintendo's Switch on July 19th. That'll be a couple of months shy of a full decade on from the release of the last Marvel Ultimate Alliance game, which back then was handled by a scrabble of developers led by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision across multiple formats. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, however, is being published by Nintendo, with action specialists Team Ninja on development duty - and while we've only had fleeting glimpses of gameplay, it seems to stay true to the trusted co-op action RPG formula, with teams of up to four players controlling well-known superheroes as they work to synergise their attacks. Perhaps most importantly, though, its familiar cast is being put into action soon after the cinematic release of Avengers: Endgame, the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that looks set to break all sorts of box office records when it releases on April 25th. Oh wow, that's next week. Become a Eurogamer subscriber and get your first month for £1 Get your first month for £1 (normally £3.99) when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
