Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order was unexpectedly revealed at The Game Awards in December. However, during an announcement-heavy Nintendo Direct, we learned some new details about the upcoming brawler for Switch. During the stream it was confirmed that the game will have an all-new story that pits Marvel's iconic heroes and villains against each other for the fate of the world.

　　During the initial reveal trailer characters from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Men were shown as playable. However, it has now been confirmed that the Defenders squad will also be represented. For those not familiar, the team is made up of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones. Additionally, Captain Marvel will also join the fight, which makes sense given that she'll be hitting the big screen in her own Marvel Cinematic Universe movie this year, presumably followed by a key role in Avengers: Endgame.
