Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC is coming back

by David Hinkle on Jun 29th 2010 10:35PM

It's been a roller coaster ride this year for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 fans. First, all DLC for the game vanished from PSN -- it was explained that the DLC was merely a "limited time offer." Then, it vanished from Xbox Live, too. Now, gamers are forced to simply play the game itself, deprived of access to all DLC. Can you imagine the horror?

But fear not, for the DLC is returning when it's needed most -- just like a good superhero. Word comes via Hero HQ that the DLC is coming back, and we've managed to confirm it first-hand with an Activision rep. Sadly, the rep couldn't provide us with a timeframe for re-release, but as soon as The Journalistor defeats Red Tape Man, we'll be sure to let you know the details.

[Thanks, Catherine]

Wait, they put up DLC.. then eventually took it away.. to then put it back up? ...wha?

@Faenix

I thought the same, till I read the name Activision... Then I was like, oh right... Evil.

@Faenix Probably had something to do with Disney buying Marvel. But either way I can't wait now that I have points!

This was really strange considering some much older titles have their DLC available for purchase still.

@Bluebreaker

I know Media Molecule does with Little Big Planet from time time they will release DLC thats either free or you have to pay thats only available for a limited time then gets removed.

I just rented this game again last week, its fun but not as good as the first one. To bad they took away the DLC because I really like Carnage, I just wish they would bring him back some how.

@The angry pro consumer gaming ga I'm talking about the comic books since he was supposedly killed, but he's just too bad ass and seriously Spiderman never encountered anyone as crazy as Carnage.

@The angry pro consumer gaming ga

Symbiotes were the only reason I ever read spiderman, they oddly interested me... lol

Activision's deal with Marvel ended on December 31st. They couldn't produce any more copies of either game or keep selling the DLC. Hopefully this means a new deal is worked out and even more hopefully MUA3 is coming. Or hell, even X-Men Legends 3.

@(Unverified)

I think the biggest news is that they're allowed to re-release it. Hopefully, that means that there will be a MUA 3 or X-Men Legends 3 on the horizon.

Damn, I deleted my save!

"...but as soon as The Journalistor defeats Red Tape Man, we'll be sure to let you know the details."

...Ugh.

So they wait til most people aren't interested in the game anymore and re-release old dlc. Smooth move Activision. I wouldn't d/l this if it was free.

@darkbegins

I haven't even touch the game since they removed the DLC but will likely get back into playing it since the DLC is coming back.

I actually spent a great deal of time looking for the DLC a few weeks ago. Then I read they took it down. Good to know it's coming back.

i still play this game i prefer x-men legends 2 over any marvel ultimate alliance 1&2 any day but this game is still fun its too bad i didn't download this DLC when it came out cause i was broke but next thing you know they take it down

@pulgathagreat

Here you go.

.,.',.

[Throws in a few capitals as well.]

I can't imagine how many downloads they've lost because of this. I know that I was going to get them, but they pulled them before I had the chance to purchase it, and now I don't have the game anymore.

I know the game is pretty old now, but it would be great that with the re-release of the DLC they put out some new character DLC packs as well (for those who bought the DLC the first time around). That would get me back into the game for a little while at least.

they should at least add the psp, ps2, wii and ds exclusive to the game.

Nice!

Can anyone confirm that the DLC keeps you from getting a Plantinum trophy?
