LEGO, Marvel, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and TT Games have announced their latest addition to the video games line, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. The game will be available Fall 2013 for various systems including Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and Windows PC. The game will be looking to joining many successful LEGO games including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, as well as Batman and Batman 2.
The storyline will center around Nick Fury calling many Marvel Super Heroes including Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and with more than 100 Marvel characters to unlock, to save the Earth from the forces of Loki and Galactus. There are 8 scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises and hints of scenes from the new Iron Man 3 film as well. I also wonder if LEGO will be throwing in an exclusive pre-order minifigure like with some of the other LEGO video games. If so, who could it be?
Below is the official press release:
