It seems like we can hardly get through a week without talking about something which covers either the LEGO or Marvel worlds. Today though, we’re getting the best of both universes as Warner Bros have announced LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
Due for release on 17th November 2017, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 will be coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC. That will then be followed up with a Nintendo Switch release come Christmas.
So what can we expect? Well, as you would expect, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is an all-new original adventure that brings together the iconic LEGO humour with Marvel’s Super Heroes and Super Villains. TT Games will take us to the incredible open hub world of Chronopolis, with a myriad of Marvel locations ripped from time and space as different eras and realities combine. You’ll find yourself taking on the time-travelling Kang the Conqueror across the likes of Ancient Egypt, through The Old West and into a 2099 version of New York City.
To help you do so, a huge roster of characters will be available and the likes of Cowboy Captain America from the past, Spider-Man 2099, Thor, Hulk, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Green Goblin and more will be in place.
A four player multiplayer mode has also been confirmed, allowing those who bore of going it alone the chance to team up with family and friends to create their own awesome team of Super Heroes.
“With a completely original branching storyline, LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes 2 introduces amazing new gameplay features, including the ability for characters to manipulate time and a four-player competitive Super Hero battling mode,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “With a huge array of brand new characters from the Marvel universe, including old favourites in new guises, this game is sure to thrill both LEGO® and Marvel fans, as well as newcomers to the series.”
“The LEGO® Group is delighted to continue the stories of the legendary Marvel characters in a new LEGO® adventure,” said Sean McEvoy, VP Digital Games, The LEGO® Group. “Fans young and old will love playing through this all-new cosmic saga spanning the Marvel Universe as seen through the LEGO® lens.”
