Marvel Character Packs Miss Date

Additional heroes and villains were scheduled to arrive in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance yesterday, but the super heroes are running late to the party. As the sun set on the content's release date, April 10, Marvel fans never got a chance to make Hulk smash. Activision even pulled all release information from the game's website.

The character packs are apparently held up in QA. This morning Matthew Paul, producer on Ultimate Alliance, explained on the Xbox Live forums: "I wanted you to know that we are still wrapping up QA on the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Heroes and Villains XBL DLC so it isn't out yet as some of you might have read. We are working hard to finalize the packs and will let you know a new release date shortly. Thanks for your patience and support. The DLC will be well worth the wait once you get your hands on it."

Another Activision representative told IGN today that "we didn't hit our date." The rep assured us, though, that a new release date would be coming in the next few days, if that long.
