Just in time for the Halloween season, Nintendo and Team Ninja are rolling out their “Curse of the Vampire” DLC update on Monday, September 30th. The expansion pack will feature four brand-new characters of Marvel Knights fame: Blade, Moon Knight, Punisher and Morbius. Check out the official in-game renders for the four characters courtesy of Marvel Games VP and Creative Director Bill Rosemann’s Twitter:

In addition to these four new characters, the “Curse of the Vampire” DLC update will include an as-of-yet-unexplained Gauntlet mode, which will ostensibly put our favorite MUA3 heroes through a series of consecutive in-game challenges via online cooperative play.
