Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 won’t be available on Xbox One until this Thursday, July 28, Activision has confirmed.

The publisher hasn’t said why there’s an extra wait for Xbox One fans – both games launched on PS4 this morning and are expected on PC later today.

Nor is there any official word on whether the games feature the DLC released for the original Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Here’s what Activision has to say about the two re-releases in its press release:

Marvel Ultimate Alliance:

“Featuring a cast of over 22 playable characters, the first Marvel: Ultimate Alliance lets players create their own teams of heroes from the Marvel Universe, or recreate their favourite existing ones, like the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four and more. Experience a story starring more than 140 legendary characters, including Captain America, Spider-Man, Thor, Loki, Wolverine, Doctor Doom, Ultron and many others. Customise and upgrade these mighty squads of champions to unleash upon the single-player campaign, or in cooperative and competitive online and local multiplayer for up to four players.”

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2:

“Set within the climactic events of Marvel Comics’ Civil War story arc, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 throws players into the struggle for or against the infamous Superhuman Registration Act. The missions, challenges, and threats players face are affected by which side of the conflict they choose. Like its predecessor, the game lets players assemble and level up their own Marvel Universe dream teams from over 24 playable characters, each with specialised abilities that can be combined for amazing results. Play alone in single-player, or battle together in online and local co-op with up to four friends.”

The two games are available on PS4 now for £29.99 each or in a bundle containing both of them for £44.99.
