Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group and DC Entertainment today has 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. For the first time, a LEGO game is giving players the ability to create and play as their own DC Super-Villain throughout the game. 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. “LEGO DC Super-Villains” will be available October 16, 2018 for PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
“‘LEGO DC Super-Villains’ provides players a fun and humorous way to cause mischief by unleashing their DC Super-Villain’s sinister powers and amusing abilities,” Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games commented “With an unprecedented amount of customization options to choose from, players can create and customize their character at the start of the story, unlocking new powers and abilities as they progress through the funniest LEGO game to date.”
Stone explained that 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.
Stone also pointed out that 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.
“The original story in LEGO DC Super-Villains flips the DC universe upside down as players embark on an unforgettable adventure starring memorable villains set across notable DC locations,” Ames Kirshen, Vice President, Interactive & Animation, DC Entertainment commented “DC’s roster of iconic Super-Villains is unmatched and fans will love teaming up with The Joker, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor and a host of others to save Earth from a greater evil.”
“‘LEGO DC Super-Villains’ gives players a new way to play with their favorite DC characters with a splash of light-hearted, villainous antics,” Sean McEvoy, VP Digital Games, The LEGO Group commented “Players will enjoy exploring the expansive DC universe in the way only a LEGO game can deliver.”
