Step into the shoes of the underworld in LEGO® DC Super-Villains, an action-adventure epic that flips the traditional superhero narrative on its head. Instead of defending the innocent, players are given the opportunity to embrace their dark side, creating a custom super-villain and leading a roster of iconic antagonists through a chaotic new chapter in the DC Universe. Whether you are looking to cause mayhem or uncover deep-seated conspiracies, this title offers a sandbox of mischief where being bad has never been more fun.

A New Era of Chaos: Story and Setting

The world of LEGO® DC is in a state of unprecedented flux. In an unexpected twist, the Justice League has mysteriously vanished, leaving Earth without its primary defenders. In their absence, a group of pretenders has risen to take their place, calling themselves the "Justice Syndicate." This new faction of strange, wannabe superheroes has claimed Earth's protection, but their true intentions remain shrouded in mystery.

As the world's most notorious criminals, players must navigate an expansive open-world experience to investigate these newcomers. You won't be working alone; you will join forces with a legendary group of misfits and renowned DC Super-Villains, including the incomparable The Joker and the unpredictable Harley Quinn. Alongside members of the Injustice League, your mission is to wreak havoc, uncover the truth behind the Justice League's disappearance, and prove that the villains are the true masters of the DC Universe.
