Marvel Ultimate Alliance Re-Release Coming
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 are getting a re-release for PC, PS4 and Xbox One later this week. The announcement comes from Marvel games panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
Much like any other HD release of an old title both versions released back in 2006 and 2009. Both will receive a number improvements, but the core gameplay will remain the same. These include graphically upgrades, UI enhancements and performance improvements.
Both games are similar in fashion to Diablo, they're top-down action RPG's with a huge roaster of superheroes. You can team up with up to four heroes and take down villains in a epic scaled comic book adventure.
Both titles will be available digitally on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam starting on the 26th July 2016 for $39.99 each or in a bundle with both titles for $59.99.
This re-release and revival of the series could also hint at Marvel games releasing another game in the franchise. Marvel.com asked executive producer Mike Jones and he had this to say:
“Following the footsteps of a proud Marvel tradition, I’ll say: Anything is possible, True Believers!”

Activision like doing this. Just look at Deadpool and the two Prototype titles.

I really enjoyed the originals, and even if they are low effort ports I'm looking forward to playing them again. Especially if it leads to a Marvel: UA3!

Seems they have royally screwed the pooch with them.
Nothing but awful reviews on Steam.
Massively dissapointed, though not entirely surprised...
