LEGO Marvel Collection coming to consoles

If you’ve been sleeping on The LEGO Marvel games, now’s your time. A trio of them are set to be packed together in the LEGO Marvel Collection.

Assemble

A mainstay in the LEGO line go games, Marvel games don’t seem to be going anywhere. They’re usually pretty highly regarded too. Especially for all the characters and Easter Eggs that they manage to cram into every adventure.

Now the three games in the set are being packaged together in the LEGO Marvel Collection. Altogether, that means you’ll get LEGO Marvel Superheroes, LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, and LEGO Marvel’s Avengers.

Both of the Marvel Superheroes titles are based almost entirely off of the comic books or cartoons.

• In LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, players take on the role of their favorite Marvel characters Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk, as they assemble in a completely original story. Players will battle against some of the most menacing Marvel Super Villains, including dastardly Doctor Octopus, the ghastly Green Goblin, the ruthless Red Skull, the vicious Venom, Thor’s vexing brother, Loki, as well as the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus.
  
• LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 picks up directly where LEGO Marvel Super Heroes left off featuring a completely original branching storyline co-written by award-winning comic writer Kurt Busiek. This story brings together a diverse roster of iconic Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains from different time periods and realities including Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Cosmo the Spacedog, Cowboy Captain America, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Green Goblin, Groot, Gwenpool, Hawkeye, Howard the Duck, Hulk, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Ms. Marvel, Rocket Raccoon, She-Hulk, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Thor, and many more. Players can roam and explore 18 different Marvel locations within the incredible Open Hub World of Chronopolis, from the vibrant jungle of Wakanda to the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, along with Asgard, Attilan, Knowhere, the Coliseum, Hala, Hydra Empire, Kang’s Citadel, K’un-Lun, Lemuria, Manhattan, Medieval England, Noir New York, 2099 Nueva York, Old West, The Swamp, and Xandar.

MCU lite

As for Avengers, that’s a little more ‘movie centric’ than the other two. It definitely feels little tonally different. But even so, there’s still probably enough general Marvel stuff in here to make fans smile.

• LEGO Marvel’s Avengers features storylines from the critically-acclaimed film Marvel’s The Avengers and its sequel Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron and players can unlock more than 200 characters, including Black Widow, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man. The game features a unique take on open world gameplay, with eight different environments to explore within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the expansive streets of Marvel’s New York, as well as Asgard, Barton’s Farm, Malibu, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base Exterior, Sokovia, South Africa and Washington, D.C. Players can freely roam around these open world locations in any way they’d like, such as super jumping off skyscrapers with Hulk, speed running over water with Quicksilver or even play as giant characters, like the menacing Fing Fang Foom, who can grow to the size of tall buildings.

Thinking about picking the collection up? You’ll be happy to know it’s not too far off. Watch for the LEGO Marvel Collection to hit the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on March 12th.
