It tells a more comics accurate Civil War narrative than the MCU's, which could be fun for comics fans. The game trades in some of the complexities of the original release in exchange for fancy combo moves and a story more in line with what was happening in the comics at the time. Whether this is a window into a mass rerelease of Activision's Marvel catalog or a brief way for preservationists to grab an obsolete title digitally, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is worth playing at the end of the day. Perhaps Activision sees that as an opportunity, but it's not clear without more info. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3sold one million units in six months, but it's exclusive to Switch because Nintendo published it. That prospect is odd to consider, though considering that it doesn't hold the franchise rights anymore, so the publisher would likely be paying big bucks to do a another re-release. Still, it's possible that Activision is preparing to offer the games once more worldwide and that this was just a regional jumping of the gun. The more likely scenario is that someone behind the scenes at Sony hit the wrong switch and offered the game for sale once again. That bundle had a global release, so it would be strange for the publisher to go through the legal trouble of relisting the game and then offer it under such a specific set of circumstances. It's the only Activision Marvel game to appear even though Alliance 2 was released alongside a new version of the first game at the time of the rerelease. First spotted by PlayStation Universe, the game reappeared on the storefront just as quickly as it was delisted in 2018.

The second, starring newer Spider-Man protagonist Miles Morales, was one of the shining stars of the recent PlayStation 5 launch.
Most successfully, the comics publisher has worked with Sony and Insomniac Games to create two new open-world Spider-Man games based on a game-specific branch of their multiverse. There's also Square Enix's Marvel's Avengers, which made a big splash on launch and then faded into the background due to numerous looter shooter issues. It's made new deals on several new titles in the past few years, including a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 helmed by Team Ninja and published by Nintendo.
Of course, that isn't to say that Marvel is out of video games entirely.
