As we noted earlier, today is April 11th, meaning Activision's planned release of new Marvel: Ultimate Alliance content is a day late. After the irate comic book/video game crossover crowd didn't get their planned downloadable content, it was up to M:UA producer Matthew Paul to calm the angry internet mob.

He posted on the official Xbox forums earlier today with a status on the MIA DLC. (He says it's en route ASAP, pending QA.)

This is Matthew Paul, the producer from Activision on Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. 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.

Just hold tight, folks. You'll get your Hulk and Hawkeye fix probably sooner than you think. Michael McWhertor
