Marvel and Nintendo fans have reason to celebrate today, as Nintendo of America has revealed that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order will arrive exclusively on the Nintendo Switch this July.

This is huge news, as previous installments of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series have made appearances on the Xbox and PlayStation console of their respective generations. Now, though, the series appears to be making the transition to being a Switch exclusive title.

Revealed via a tweet earlier today, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order has been given a July 19 release date for the Switch. The game was originally showcased during the February 13 Nintendo Direct earlier this year, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order marks the first time in 10 years that the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series has released a new entry.

Featuring up to 4-player cooperative play, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order also includes Captain Marvel, as well as a new zoomed-in Heroic Camera feature, which puts you closer than ever to the action. In the latest entry in the series, players will also be able to level up and unlock new skills that they can make use of, including Alliance Extreme attacks.
