SDCC 2019: ‘Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3’ Is Adding Cyclops And Colossus For Free In August

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 may be launching tomorrow with a whopping 36 characters in its base roster with three DLC packs on the way, but that doesn’t mean there were no other surprises waiting in the wings. At the Marvel Games panel at San Diego Comic Con, it was revealed that Colossus and Cyclops, two X-Men mainstays that were considered guarantees for the upcoming X-Men DLC pack, would be made available for free on August 30.

Free content aside, this news is especially exciting because this opens up the possibilities of what the X-Men pack will contain. If the four character roster that makes up the Marvel Knights pack is any indication, it’s safe to say that we can expect the same amount. Considering this series started as an X-Men franchise with Legends, it’s easy to see why this section of the Marvel universe is getting so much attention. But now with the no-brainer characters off of the table and other popular members like Wolverine, Storm and Magneto being part of the main roster, the question is who will make the cut? Iceman? Gambit? Rogue? Phoenix? Or a dark horse that we’re all overlooking?

Who would you like to see make the X-Men pack? How about the Fantastic Four set? I’ll give you a guess as to who will be in that one. Until then, keep an eye out for a full review of the game after its July 19 release. If you enjoy the game as much as we did at E3, then look forward to even more content, as extra costumes for every character will be released in the first quarter of 2020.
