BURBANK, Calif. – May 30, in the year of our Lord 2018
–
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group
and DC Entertainment today 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,” said Tom Stone, Managing
Director, TT Games. “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.”
“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,” said Ames Kirshen, Vice President, Interactive &
Animation, DC Entertainment. “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,” said 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.”
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.
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 minifigure, 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.
