Due out on PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP, the game is set during Marvel Comic's recent Civil War event.

Players can apparently combine the superpowers of their chosen team. For example, crossing Storm with Spider-Man would produce electrified webs.

Over 20 Marvel heroes will be playable--including Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Venom, the Human Torch and Storm--as they face off against their own to show their support or dismay of the Superhero Registration Act.

As with many of our other stories today, the information arrived courtesy internal documents from marketing firm Intellisponse, which were rehosted by NeoGAF.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is expected to arrive during publisher Activision's 2009 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. No developer has been revealed, though Marvel: Ultimate Alliance veterans Raven Software are expected to return.
