If you haven’t already bought some licensed games by Activision on PSN or other digital platforms, time has run out for you. Without any warning, a dozen Activision games, including Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, have been delisted from the PSN Store, presumably because Activision’s license has run out, as noticed by the astute folks on ResetEra.
Other games in this batch include Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, Deadpool, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Transformers Devastation, and The Legend of Korra. The good news? If you purchased the games already, you can re-download them at any time. If you have them downloaded, you can play them without issue.
Sadly this is the kind of thing that happens with licensed games all too often. If the games were still in print, Activision would have been forced to recall any copies still in inventory; that said, these games are too old for that to be a consideration.
At least for Marvel fans, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is due out exclusively on the Nintendo Switch later this year. You can see the full list of delisted games below:
- Angry Birds Star Wars
- Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
- Deadpool
- Ghostbusters
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2
- The Legend of Korra
- Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5
- Transformers Devastation
- Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
- Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark
- White Night
