Game Informer has posted a new preview of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, which has a bunch of details. We’ve rounded up the information below.
– Based on the first two films
– New York City is attacked by the nefarious chitauri warriors
– Age of Ultron content in as well
– E3 demo begins with the invasion
– Civilians are pinned beneath wreckage, and Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have to rescue them by destroying wrecked cars and other debris
– Some of the debris is guarded by chitauri goons
– The characters are largely the same as in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
– Some subtle differences with the characters compared to the last game
– Cap can walk through flames and now extinguish them with a mighty leap and a flame-smothering shield smash
– Characters can team up for special combo attacks
– These are context-sensitive
– Stand on a marked area and wait for your teammate (or A.I. buddy) to walk over and press a button for combos
– Then they perform a maneuver, which changes depending on the duo
– Captain America uses his shield as a platform for Black Widow, and she bounces into the air and sprays bullets down at the apex of her jump
– Thor rings Cap’s shield like a bell, destroying objects and enemies nearby
– Another combo: Cap reflect Iron Man’s energy attack to destroy airborne chitauri
– Over 100 all-new characters in the game
– All-new New York City hub
– Hub will have activities to keep players busy
