Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, previously known as Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion will be the sequel to the 2006 action role-playing video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. The game is being developed by Vicarious Visions and will be published by Activision. The game features characters from the Marvel Comics universe and centers around the Marvel's Civil War storyline.

The game was officially announced in a press release by Activision on February 8, 2008. The game is scheduled to be released in 2009. At E3 2008, it was given the official name of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion. On February 5, 2009 a new trailer was released, revealing that the story would continue from the Secret War saga into Marvel Comic's Civil War. On February 8, 2009 the game was featured at New York Comic Con, where players were able to take green screen pictures and have themselves superimposed into the game's backdrops. The Alchemy Engine has been upgraded in several ways, including Havok physics technology, a new 3D sound system and syncing characters' lips to dialogue.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 follows the same basic gameplay patterns as its predecessor. The game allows to players to choose four heroes from a roster at any given time to play through the game. Players will also have the ability to level up characters and earn new abilities and powers. Vicarious Visions have made changes in the game and camera controls for greater fluidity during gameplay. The Comic-Con 2008 trailer shows an improvement in the power combo system; instead of merely doing some extra damage, two combined powers will yield a new attack altogether, such as Invisible Woman creating a force field and Iron Man overloading it with energy, effectively creating a bomb, or even the classic fastball special maneuver.
