Just a few years afterLego Marvel Avengers, WB and TT Games are ready to return to the Marvel sandbox yet again. The nextLegogame is now confirmed for a November release and will be titledLego Marvel Super Heroes 2. The announcement came alongside an awesome teaser trailer that seems to be influenced pretty heavily by the most recent Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
The official press release explains thatLego Marvel Super Heroes 2is in development for all the major platforms and will arrive on PC, PS4, and Xbox One November 17. A Nintendo Switch version is also on the way and should arrive sometime between November 17 and Christmas. The originalMarvel Super Heroesgame released in 2013 and Lego followed it up in 2016 withMarvel Avengers. It is interesting that Lego is shifting back to the more generalSuper Heroesbrand and away fromAvengers. It seems likely that this is so the story is free to leave the traditional Avengers setting and characters and explore other corners of the Marvel U like we see in the teaser.
Here’s a look at the teaser trailer…
The very short teaser seems to be a nod to the opening sequence ofGuardians of the Galaxy 2, only with Groot running in fear instead of obliviously dancing around the bright destructive battle. After the short Groot teaser, Doctor Strange shows up to reveal the title. His appearance also seems to be a hint towards the game being inspired by phase 3 of the MCU. If that ends up being the case, then we would expect to see stories and characters fromCaptain America: Civil WarandThor: Ragnarokas well when the full trailer arrives on May 23.
