Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will be the sequel to the 2006 action role-playing video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. The game is being jointly developed by Vicarious Visions (Playstation 3 and Xbox 360), n-Space (Playstation 2, DS, and Wii) and Savage Entertainment (PSP),[3] and will be published by Activision.[4] The game features characters from the Marvel Comics universe and will feature elements of the Civil War storyline.[5][6]

Gameplay

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 follows the same gameplay as its predecessor. The game allows players to choose four characters to play through the game. Players have the ability to level up characters and earn new abilities and powers. Vicarious Visions have made changes in the game and camera controls for greater fluidity during gameplay. The power combo system has been improved as two combined powers will yield a new attack, known as a "fusion".[7]

Plot

Heroes Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Luke Cage battle enemy robots.

A trailer released at E3 shows a military operation originating in Latveria, home of master villain Doctor Doom.[5] "The story starts with Secret War[8]. We're using Nick Fury's invasion of Latveria as a jumping off point. The rest of the story is derived from the consequences of those actions," states Dan Tanguay, creative director for Vicarious Visions.[4]

The game will then follow the Civil War story arc: a fight between heroes and villains causes an explosion in Stamford, Connecticut. Killing 600 civilians (including a number of school children), the government labels this "Super Powered Negligence", and the public demand a Superhuman Registration Act[6]. The government passes the act, and all meta-humans are forced to adhere to or disobey the law. In the game, players are able to choose between the Pro-Registration side headed by Iron Man and Mister Fantastic with Songbird following them, or the Anti-Registration side, lead by Captain America and Luke Cage with Iron Fist working with them. These heroes are locked into their specific side, but the other characters are playable on either side of the conflict. Multiple endings are available, and are determined by the side chosen at the beginning of the game.[5]

Characters

The game will have over 24 playable characters,[7] plus an unknown number of bonus characters exclusive to each game system.[9] The developers plan to release additional characters as downloadable content.

Enemies[3][15][16]

Development

Deadpool attacks an enemy.

The game was officially announced in a press release by Activision on February 8, 2008. Early reports speculated a 2008 release.[21] MUA2's official release date is now set to September 15, 2009.[1] At E3 2008, it was given the official name of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion, which would later be shortened to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. On February 5, 2009, a new trailer was released, revealing that the story would continue from the Secret War saga into Marvel Comic's Civil War. On February 8, 2009 the game was featured at New York Comic Con, where players were able to take green screen pictures and have themselves superimposed into the game's backdrops.[22] The Alchemy engine[23] has been upgraded in several ways, including Havok physics technology,[4] a new 3D sound system[4] and syncing character's lips to dialogue.[24] Developer Vicarious Visions also has a development blog which began on February 6, 2009 which is updated bi-monthly.[25] Users can follow Vicarious Visions' creative director Dan Tanguay on Twitter as he answers questions and posts news about MUA2.[26]
