LEGO DC SUPER VILLAINS VIDEO GAME

You have to admit sometimes it's good to be bad! The newest LEGO themed video game being developed by TT Games for Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment is going to let you have a good time playing through adventures as LEGO mini-figure versions of bad guys and gals from the DC Comics universe.  My family has had some great times playing video games that have provided LEGO style portrayals of franchises like Jurassic World, Harry Potter, and Star Wars; so we're excited that in October a new DC universe themed one is being released.

LEGO DC SUPER-VILLAINS is going to have a unique twist as it will be the first LEGO game to put players at the center of a villain-centric adventure filled with favorite locations and characters from across the DC universe.  It will let you create and play your way through it as your own customized super villain through a story filled with the tongue and cheek humor and wacky vibe that has become a trademark of LEGO cartoons and video games.  This customized character actually becomes the focal point of the game's adventure teaming up with a variety of iconic villains from the pages of DC Comics to do the unexpected … save the day!



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 create their own unique villain who serves as the 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 for fun, two-player, local co-op experiences where players can team up.

“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 informed A Geek Daddy in announcing the game's release. “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,” added Sean McEvoy, VP Digital Games, The LEGO Group. “Players will enjoy exploring the expansive DC universe in the way only a LEGO game can deliver.”

LEGO DC Super-Villains will be available October 16, 2018 for PlayStation4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.  A Deluxe Edition of the game, featuring the main game content, Season Pass content and early access to the DC SUPER-VILLAINS: TV Series DLC Character Pack, is now available for pre-order. An exclusive LEGO mini-figure, Lex Luthor Superman, also comes with the physical version of the Deluxe Edition, while digital consumers will receive the Justice League Dark DLC Character Pack with their Deluxe Edition.

The game features eight large, action-packed locations based on the story from The LEGO NINJAGO Movie.  Each location includes its own unique Challenger Dojo where players can put their combat skills to the test and battle with increasingly tougher enemies.  And with Battle Maps, players can go up against their friends and family in four different game modes, with competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players.
