Back in 2018 LEGO, WB Interactive and Traveller’s Tales flipped the hero focus of their DC-based videogames. “LEGO DC Super-Villains” instead put the DC baddies in the spotlight, seen from the eyes of a player-controlled super-villain. With the disappearance of the Justice League, the “Justice Syndicate” takes their place. Now the player villain, called “Rookie,” must help Lex Luthor and the other rogues uncover the Syndicate’s true motives. “LDCSV” received favorable reviews from the similar multiplatform release as its predecessors, including the PlayStation 4. Now, those who missed out on the game, or missed playing it, have a digital chance.
Play the hero or become the villain with this month’s PlayStation Plus games 🎭
As reported by Brick Fanatics, “LEGO DC Super-Villains” is returning this month, free for subscribers to PlayStation Plus. The official PlayStation Twitter page revealed this late last week. Three titles comprise the PlayStation Plus’ latest free digital games: “Godfall,” “Mortal Shell” and “LDCSV.” Subscribers to the paid PSN subscription service can look forward to redeem these games starting December 7. PS Plus has been giving away free games to subscribers every month, and “LEGO DC Super-Villains” looks ready to capitalize. Its emphasis on a player-created character avatar central to the games’ plot has been considered a highlight.
In terms of LEGO-related news, most LEGO DC Super-Villains might already qualify as “old.” However, WB Interactive and Traveller’s Tales have done their best to keep the videogame both diverse and relevant. All it takes is a periodical release of newDLCupdates for the title. And their latest one’s a beauty. The year 2010 had DC fans enthralled when DC Entertainment released the Young Justice animated series on Cartoon Network. Unfortunately, its unprofitable toy-line with Mattel led to cancellation after only two seasons. Fan support led to creators Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman to continue the series on DC Universe streaming. It premiered last January.
History lesson over; as if it weren’t obvious, Young Justice is the theme for the new “LDCSV” DLC. Interestingly, the new LEGO characters are the titular heroes as they appeared in the original CN show. Superboy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, and Artemis are the pack’s playable starters, with new additional villain Black Beetle being unlocked after he gets beaten.
LEGO DC Super-Villains, if you need reminding, remains available on PS4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch. The Young Justice DLC is automatically available for downloading by Season Pass-holders and Delux Edition owners. Otherwise, it’s worth $2.99 to download.
Last week, it was revealed that the LEGO DC Super-Villains video game will get a DLC pack that is directly tied up to DC’s Extended Universe. And today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment unveiled a brand new trailer that marks the release of the game’s first Level Pack DLC that pays homage to the ruler of the Seven Seas. The LEGO DC Super-Villains Aquaman Movie DLC first downloadable pack – Aquaman Movie DLC Part 1 – is now available for Season Pass holders starting today, while the second half of the DLC, Aquaman Movie DLC Part 2, will be available on January 8, 2019.
Check out the trailer below and some of the DLC’s highlights together of course with Jason Momoa and his LEGO minifigure counterpart.
The LEGO DC Super-Villains Aquaman Movie DLC adds six level packs and four character packs that includes playable characters based on the upcoming DCEU film such as Aquaman, Black Manta, Mera, Orm, King Nereus, Queen Atlanna and many more. If you already purchased a Deluxe Edition of the game, then the Season Pass together with its DLC (Part 1) are now available to download for free. However, you may also opt to purchase the Aquaman Movie DLC as a separate bundle for $5.99 starting January 8, 2019 when the Aquaman Movie DLC Part 2 rolls out.
LEGO DC Super-Villains is now available across major video game platforms including the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Warner Bros’ Aquaman movie is slated to hit US theaters on December 21, 2018

Yes, September’s almost over and then, WB Interactive and Traveller’s Tales can finally unleash their upcoming videogame title LEGO DC Super-Villains. This adventure on the other side of the DC character alignment promises a veritable load of playable characters both villain and hero. How many? Apparently, somebody just found out how to take a peek at all LEGO DC Super-Villains characters slated to appear in the video game.
YouTube gamer TheHiddenBlade01 has just uploaded a video that might have spoiled the who’s who of characters available in the upcoming LEGO DC Super-Villains. Footage includes a screenshot of the rumored complete character roster in what seems to be the select screen; the photo for Reverse Flash is enlarged as if the cursor was on him.
TheHiddenBlade01 also zooms in on the image several times to pick out details on the villain (and hero) characters that the LDCSV player will have access to. Villains like Catwoman, Clayface and Gorilla Grodd are obvious since they were featured in previous trailers, but why are the heroes included too?
Possible theories for having the DC superheroes on-board among the villains include being a bonus for completing the story campaign, or acquired from there being a secret scenario with them involved. “Enemy mine” team-up and (shock!) brainwashing are also offered as possibilities.
It seems authentic, but for now we’ll consider this screenshot a rumor and we’ll wait until LEGO DC Super-Villains is out before we pass judgment. Anyway, the game is available for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and will be released October 16.
Edit: The character screen image was taken from a livestream of EGX 2018 in the UK, so it’s all but official and authentic. The Brick Fanhas compiled a list of all LEGO DC Super-Villains characters shown in this footage as you can see below.
Gamescom 2018 is now in full swing in Germany, where LEGO and Warner Bros Interactive took the stage to share an extended gameplay video (worth 19 minutes) in showcasing some of the things to be expected in their latest video game offering, LEGO DC Super Villains. We already know that the game will feature a good deal of character customizations where players will get to take the role of Rookie – the player’s avatar that eventually evolves and upgrades as you go through the game’s overarching story. The video, which you can see below, is courtesy of IGN who is currently covering the events of Gamescom 2018 as they happen. Watch this.
The game starts with Commissioner Gordon paying the mastermind criminal extraordinaire Lex Luthor (who is now serving time in prison) in asking for help in defeating the current threat that Gotham City is facing. The player’s character simply called as Rookie, enters the game and the player is given five preset characters to choose from. Each preset character is further customizable in terms of its looks, costume, abilities, and weapons.
You can even determine the color of Rookie’s weapons using the game’s highly varied color palette. Once the player finalizes his/her selection, the game gives us a glimpse of the myriad of DC super villain characters that can be unlocked throughout the course of the game. How many characters do you think are there?
As the story progresses, Lex Luthor does a daring escape from prison with the help of her loyal assistant and secretary Mercy Graves, bringing Rookie along with him. From there on, it’s a prison break mission and Rookie must find a way to the outside world while learning and absorbing new super powers at the same time. Furthermore, it looks like the first villains to be available at the player’s disposal (other than Luthor) will be Cheetarah and Solomon Grundy as Rookie help these baddies to escape. Typical of other LEGO video games, the LEGO DC Super Villains also features tons of breaking and re-creating LEGO sets and builds to progress in the game. Players can also change to up to 3 characters in-game depending on the challenge or task at hand.
The LEGO DC Super Villains video game is now available for pre-order, with the Deluxe Edition retailing for $75. It is slated to be released on October 16, 2018 and will be available across major gaming platforms (Playstation, Xbox, Switch, and PC).
A few moments ago, LEGO and Warner Bros. Interactive has just released its LEGO DC Super-Villains official story trailer that gives us an idea of how the game will unfold. We already know that this latest LEGO video game offering from TT Games will feature a first ever, customizable character that players can improve on while they work their way in the game. This player avatar will eventually have to team up with the worst of the worst DC baddies in order to save the world from the grips of Darkseid and the Justice Syndicate. Read the official press release, and watch the story trailer below.
The LEGO DC Super-Villains video game is now available for pre-order and will be available beginning October 16, 2018. Pre-order the Deluxe Edition and get early access to the DC Super-Villains TV Series Character Pack, plus an exclusive Lex Luthor minifigure.
