The Old Man Logan character has risen in popularity in recent years, partly thanks to the2017 filmLogan, which was inspired by the comic book story. Considering this, it makes a lot of sense for Team Ninja to try to lure fans back toUltimate Alliance 3by giving them the chance to play as Old Man Logan in video game form.
The Rise of Phoenix expansion and the new free costumes is just the latest that has been added toUltimate Alliance 3. Previously, the Marvel Knights expansion gave fans of the game a few new characters to try, including well-known characters likeBlade and The Punisher.
Looking ahead, there’s even more new content forMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3fans to look forward to.
