First LEGO DC Super-Villains details, announcement trailer
Warner Bros. Interactive has formally announced LEGO DC Super-Villains, “the first LEGO game to put players at the center of a villain-centric adventure packed with favorite locations and characters from across the DC universe.” Players will be able to create and play as their own DC Super-Villain throughout the game for the very first time. According to Warner Bros., “Their character becomes the center of the story, while teaming up with an iconic variety of villains to adventure through the hilarious and original story written in collaboration with DC.”
Here’s additional information and today’s announcement trailer:
In LEGO DC Super-Villains, the Justice League has disappeared, leaving Earth’s protection to a newcomer group of heroes from a parallel universe, proclaiming themselves as the ‘Justice Syndicate’. Renowned DC Super-Villains from the ‘Legion Of Doom’ discover Earth’s newest heroes may not be the heroes they claim to be. With each player’s completely customizable Super-Villain character in command, this team of misfit lawbreakers must join forces to discover and foil the evil plans the incognito strangers have in store.
At the beginning of the campaign, players can create their own unique villain and main character throughout, while also teaming up with a variety of DC Super-Villains throughout the story mode. As players progress, they will unlock new abilities, powers and can continue to customize their character to take on the evil threat. Friends and family can join story mode at any time with the fun, two-player, local co-op experiences where players can team up in epic boss fights.
LEGO DC Super-Villains launches October 16 in North America and October 19 in Europe. Warner Bros. will be selling a Deluxe Edition that contains the main game content, season pass content and early access to the DC Super-Villains: TV Series DLC Character Pack. An exclusive LEGO minifigure, Lex Luthor Superman, also comes with the physical version of the Deluxe Edition, while digital buyers will be given the Justice League Dark DLC Character Pack with their Deluxe Edition.
