Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is an action RPG developed by Team NINJA, released exclusively for Nintendo Switch in 2019. Players assemble a team of Marvel superheroes drawn from a large roster that includes members of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, and others. The game's central conflict pits these heroes against Thanos, a powerful cosmic antagonist, and his elite enforcers known as the Black Order, who together threaten galactic destruction. Combat follows a hack-and-slash structure, with players forming squads and managing team composition to take on enemies across the campaign. The game supports cooperative multiplayer, allowing friends to join forces and tackle the threat together. As the third entry in the Ultimate Alliance series, it continues the franchise's emphasis on roster variety and team-based superhero action within a Nintendo-exclusive release.

Storyline

In this new storyline, heroes and villains unite in a race across the Marvel Universe to find the Infinity Stones before Thanos and The Black Order use them to unleash cosmic chaos. From Avengers Tower to the X-Mansion and beyond, every stop on the dangerous quest to thwart Thanos results in unexpected collisions of fan-favorite characters and iconic locations. Get closer to the action by shifting the view to an over-the-shoulder "Heroic Camera" perspective—a series first that offers a more immersive way to play single-player or multiplayer on up to four systems. Play online*, offline via local wireless, or simply pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend, so they can join your team. With another pair of Joy-Con controllers (sold separately), four players can team up on one system! The drop-in/drop-out co-op possibilities let players create their own "Ultimate Alliance" at will.
