Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3’s Curse of the Vampire DLC Gets Spooky with Blade, Morbius, and More

Nintendo Europe confirmed yesterday via Twitter that the first piece of paid downloadable content for the Nintendo Switch-exclusive Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order will launch on September 30th. Dubbed “The Curse of the Vampire,” the expansion will feature four new playable characters from Marvel’s more macabre roster of characters: vampire hunter Blade, werewolf expert Moon Knight, Morbius the Living Vampire, and antihero The Punisher.

Additionally, a few new game modes will be added, including a Horde-like Endurance Mode as well as new four player co-op challenges in Gauntlet Mode. See below for the update's official description.
