Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will debut on consoles as a bundle as early as July 26, according to a Marvel announcement at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

Marvel will sell the action role-playing games for $40 each or bundled for $60. They will launch on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Previously, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 was not available on the PC.

Executive producer Mike Jones and creative director Bill Roseanne from Marvel Games said both titles will be available for PS4 and PC next Tuesday, with an Xbox One version coming a week later. Marvel said the new versions will have graphic and user interface improvements.
