Marvel, Activision form "Ultimate Alliance"

Over on his blog, C.B. Cebulski talks about Marvel and Activision's upcoming role-playing video game, Marvel:Ultimate Alliance:

In the new issue of Game Informer magazine, issue 157 with Red Steel on the cover, there's a six page article debuting the new video game I've been hard at work on with Raven and Activision, MARVEL: Ultimate Alliance. I've been serving as a story consultant and it's been a blast! While it uses the same engine that the X-Men Legends games were based on, Ultimate Alliance stars the entire Marvel Universe cast of characters and takes action/RPG gaming to a level you will not believe! The story's pretty awesome and the graphics are simply incredible. The article features all kinds of concept art, screenshots and designs, so please be sure to check it out. And it even name checks yours truly, although miscredited as an editor still. :)

The game will feature 20 playable characters, including Spider-Man, Captain America, Dr. Strange, Thor, Ghost Rider, Elektra and Wolverine. Despite the name, it's set in the 616 rather than the Ultimate universe. For more info, check out 1up.com.
