Marvel super heroes are assembling for an action-packed, brick-smashing good time! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group and Marvel Entertainment announced today that "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" will be available beginning Fall 2013 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, the Wii U system and Windows PC, as well as the Nintendo DS handheld system, Nintendo 3DS handheld system and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system. "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" is the first instalment in the highly successful LEGO videogame franchise to feature famous Marvel characters.

"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes," coming Fall 2013
"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" complements the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes construction toy collection, which brings the characters, vehicles and action of Marvel’s renowned universe to the world of LEGO build-and-play adventure. There are currently eight iconic scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises available and more construction sets tied to the new "Iron Man 3" feature film will launch later this spring.
"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" offers an original storyline in which Nick Fury calls upon Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine and other heroes spanning the Marvel Universe to save Earth from such threats as the vengeance of Loki and the hunger of Galactus, Devourer of the Worlds. LEGO and Marvel fans will enjoy classic LEGO videogame adventure and humor, while playing as their favorite Marvel characters.
“We’re very excited to bring a myriad of classic Marvel characters to life in LEGO form for some fun, family-friendly gameplay in 'LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,'” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “Players will brave the ultimate mission to save the world as they explore famous landmarks in LEGO New York and take the adventure beyond Earth to iconic locations in the Marvel Universe.”
“Fans of both LEGO and Marvel have wanted this game for years, and we’re addressing that demand with more Marvel Universe characters than ever in a console game,” said TQ Jefferson, Vice President, Games Production, Marvel Entertainment. “If you’re a fan of Spider-Man, the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or scores of other Marvel characters, this is the game for you.”
In "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes," players will unlock more than 100 characters from across the Marvel Universe, including fan favorites like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Deadpool, Loki and Galactus! The game will pack in a plethora of super-cool character abilities, combat-like action sequences, epic battle scenes, puzzle-solving and a unique story told with playful LEGO humor.
"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" is being developed by TT Games and will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. For more information, please visit http://videogames.lego.com/en-us/lego-marvel-super-heroes.

Nice, a Wii U version. Waiting for more details on that one, hopefully it atleast features a great off-TV play (since the portable Lego games are generally considered bad versions).

I guess it's not that surprising after LEGO Pirates, but still damn weird to see WBIE working on a Marvel game...

Yeah, it's actually quite surprising to see them working on IP that directly competes with WB's own.

On another note, Vita's announced/known Western third-party lineup for this year now consists entirely of Lego games. That will presumably change somewhat in the coming months, but it's amusingly strange.

YUSSSSS! Kinda surprised to see this from TT when Warner does so much with the DC franchises, but hey, not complaining.

Deadpool is such a great fit for the Lego-universe! I hope he calls on the other Deadpools from other Universes too...

Lego City is bad enough now this. My nephew is already bugging me to get him a Wii U. If he finds out about this game I won't hear the end of it...lol

cross-play/cross-buy sure would be cool with this...

Maybe since this is newer, the Vita version will actually be open. I assume this will be open world too since that's their new formula.

I thought next Lego game would be Lego TMNT... But this will do fine too, even better when there are a lot of X-men characters, including the Vindicator.

If it was 5 years ago, I'd agree, but they've got a movie coming out. GOTG is going to be a big deal.

I'm hoping for Lego Beta Ray Bill. And Lego Black Bolt. OH MY GOD, I can already imagine the Black Bolt scene. 'Hey Lego's can talk now!' Lego Black Bolt opens his mouth to talk, 'NOOOOOOO'

I hope this does not have pre-order exclusive characters like LEGO Batman 2 had.

Unless you can buy them as DLC at a later date

Anyway, i'm excited. The LEGO games get better with each new game. LEGO LotR is fantastic, even better than LEGO Batman 2 which itself was a huge step forward for TT Games. And soon we are getting LEGO City Undercover which, as previews are pretty clearly showing, demonstrates these LEGO games have a lot to offer and aren't solely targeted towards kids.

Praying for LEGO TMNT next... but it's not as huge in scope as Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Harry Potter... but boy it would be awesome.

Some said a collaboration between Marvel and TT Games could never happen. Apparently, nobody told the studio behind the popular series of Lego games. After all, Warner Bros. is the parent company of both TT Games and DC Comics, which made many people assume that a Marvel Lego game was off the table. As our cover story shows, those people were wrong. Our February issue delves into Lego Marvel Super Heroes, a new game that’s the result of those unlikely partnerships. Our extended feature focuses on all things Lego, including the exciting new Marvel game, a deeper look at Lego City Undercover, and loads of information about the studio that started it all.

My kids have been asking for this since Batman 2. I hope they actually finish it and test it, unlike LoTR which is a buggy mess.

With more than 100 characters, I wonder if some Squadron Supreme members can make it in for pseudo-crossovers? Superman, Batman, WonderWoman! I mean, Hyperion, Nighthawk, Power Princess!
