What happens when all the super heroes in the DC Comic Book Universe disappear just as a dangerous new threat emerges to the Earth? Will the world's super villains step up and save the day? Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has just released a trailer for the new video game LEGO DC SUPER VILLAINS where that is the premise of the adventure players engage in. Check it out!
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. Create your own completely customizable Super-Villain character to command a team of misfit lawbreakers to discover and foil the evil plans the incognito strangers have in store.
LEGO DC Super-Villains takes the whimsical vibe and wise cracking attitude LEGO games, televisions shows and movies have developed a reputation for and puts players at the center of a villain-centric adventure packed with favorite locations and characters from across the DC universe. The game will be available October 16, 2018 for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One X®, Nintendo Switch™, and PC. For more updates leading up to the video game's release date, follow the official LEGO DC Super-Villains social channels on Facebook and YouTube, and @LEGODCGAME on Instagram and Twitter.
There has been a major update to the LEGO Worlds video game that is playable on Playstation 4, Xbox One and STEAM. Now players no longer need to complete the game's adventure mode to access its freestyle building sandbox mode. People who have purchased the game can download this free update which adds LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS and LEGO City characters, creatures, structures, props and vehicles as well as immediately unlocks sandbox mode. The update also fixes and improves the game's user interface to make the menus and tools easier to use.
The biggest aspect of the update is providing immediate unlimited access to sandbox mode which allows players to let their imagination run wild in designing their own world made from LEGO bricks, accessories and mini-figures. Players can now skip the LEGO Worlds' tutorials and adventure mode if they desire because all of the elements of the game are now unlocked for them in sandbox mode. Customizing their own landscapes, buildings and characters is what my kids really enjoy about this game but they've been limited because its been a slow progression for them through the adventure mode to gain access to a variety of things that are now automatically accessible through the unlocked sandbox mode. They love this update!
My kids are also very excited that the video game has added elements of two of their favorite LEGO themes to it in LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS and LEGO City. That is just the beginning though! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, and The LEGO Group are promising more new themes are coming based off of the existing LEGO toy sets. With a LEGO Ninjago movie coming to theaters don't be surprised to see that theme pop up soon. I'm personally hoping for a Speed Champions theme with some racing options in it to really get my interest in joining my kids playing this game. What LEGO toy products would you like to see incorporated into the game?
