* NonLinearSequel: Despite officially being a sequel to the ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'' games, right up to baring a "''3''" in the title, this very clearly is set in a different continuity inspired by the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, comic books, and animation, with a lighter palette compared to the more realistic look the previous games went for.

* TheBusCameBack: A meta-example as this game marks the first official Marvel-related console game to feature the X-Men since ''VideoGame/LegoMarvelSuperHeroes''.

* AdaptationDistillation: Many of the characters here are inspired by both the comics and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. This includes Drax being green instead of gray, Star-Lord having his familiar mask design, Scarlet Witch taking after both versions, Iron Man resembling his classic MCU look, Falcon taking heavily from the comics, and Nick Fury being visually based off of Creator/SamuelLJackson.

* WolverinePublicity: Who better to be the first confirmed ''X-Men'' character than Wolvie himself?

* SpotlightStealingCrossover: The movie MCU characters take precedence, with Crystal and Lockjaw being downplayed examples (their only entry being the ill-fated ''Series/{{Inhumans}}'' show) and ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} being the only character who hasn't appeared in any MCU entry yet (in part due to Disney only now acquiring the film rights to the''X-Men'').
