The two remaining installments of paid DLC will focus on the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, respectively. Nintendo has not yet revealed release windows for either of the remaining DLC packs.

ComicBook.com gave Marvel Ultimate 3: The Black Order high praise when the game released in July. From the review, "The scope of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is impressive. The story is all about fan service, but its fun, enjoyable fan service. The game is fun solo, though multiplayer is ideal. The drop-in, drop-out multiplayer makes that a breeze, and the Switch's portability and connectivity make it easy to find opportunities to play. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a grand, action-packed celebration of the Marvel Universe that fans won't want to miss out on."
