LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is an action-adventure from TT Games that brings together figures from different eras of the Marvel Universe. In a standalone story, the heroes fight Kang the Conqueror and explore Chronopolis, a city made up of locations from different times and places. Combat, exploration and puzzles combine with the humour of the LEGO games.

The PC version was released on Nov 14, 2017. The German PlayStation Store lists Nov 14 for PS4 as well. The Xbox One version was released on the Xbox Store on Nov 16, 2017, while Nintendo gives Dec 1, 2017 as the Switch release date. Release dates may vary by region.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 was released natively for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The Mac version is supported on Steam by Feral Interactive and belongs to the PC family. On Xbox Series, the Xbox One version can run via backward compatibility features; this does not create a separate native Xbox Series version.

Players control different Marvel figures, defeat enemies, destroy LEGO objects and combine special abilities to open up paths. Switching between characters is part of many tasks. Between missions, you can explore Chronopolis, where collectibles and extra activities are waiting to be discovered.

The Season Pass bundles six additional story levels and four character packs. The larger expansions include content for Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Further packs add figures from Agents of Atlas, Runaways, Champions and other Marvel stories. The Deluxe Edition bundles the base game and Season Pass; it is not a separate sequel.

The Windows minimum requirements list a Core i3-3240 or Athlon X4 740, 4 GB RAM, DirectX 11 and 16 GB of free storage. Graphics cards listed include the GeForce GTX 460 or Radeon HD 5850, among others. The older OS information covers Windows 7 to 10; the current Steam client only supports newer Windows versions.

Kang the Conqueror pulls places and figures from different times and realities and assembles them into Chronopolis. The Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Thor and many other heroes must join forces to end Kang's rule. The story is a standalone adventure and does not require knowledge of all the Marvel films.

Chronopolis is a connected open world made up of locations from different eras. It includes ancient Egypt, the Wild West, the futuristic New York 2099 and places such as Sakaar, Asgard and Wakanda. The world links mission locations with freely accessible tasks and collectibles.

The large roster includes Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange and Groot. Different versions of well-known heroes from different eras expand the selection. Characters have their own movement and combat abilities.

Many puzzles can only be solved using the abilities of specific figures. Character switching, destructible LEGO builds and interactive objects open paths to mission goals or collectibles. Some tasks only become accessible with figures that are unlocked later.

Combat relies on direct attacks, special abilities and the different powers of the Marvel heroes. Flying figures, melee fighters and characters with ranged attacks play differently. Alongside the story's enemies, there are separate arena challenges for duels with other players.

The story can be played locally in co-op with a second person. The PC version supports split screen and Steam Remote Play Together. The multiplayer arenas are designed for up to four players depending on the platform, while the standard story co-op is designed for two players.

The Battle Arenas are standalone local multiplayer challenges where Marvel figures face each other. They complement the co-op story but do not replace its missions. On consoles, up to four local players are supported, as long as enough controllers are available.

The PC version supports German on-screen text, voice-over and subtitles. Other fully voiced languages include English, French, Italian and Spanish. On other platforms, the available language options may depend on the release.

Steam lists controller support, achievements, cloud saves, local co-op and Remote Play Together. For Nintendo Switch, Nintendo explicitly states that save data cannot be backed up to the Nintendo Switch Online cloud.
