Earlier this year, Warner Bros. and Traveler’s Tales announced that it was finally bringing Marvel to the LEGO universe with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Since then, a large number of previews and trailers have confirmed that it’ll be essentially the mostsome of the most complete Marvel game thus far with over 100 heroes to choose between. Now you, the player, can finally take these types of classic heroes out for a spin.

Warner Bros. Games announced that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is now available at North American retailers for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, 3DS, PS Vita and PC. The sport may also be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One on November 15 and 22 respectively.

“We are excited to finally bring LEGO gamers and Marvel fans the action-packed game they’ve all been awaiting with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “LEGO Marvel delivers an original story told in classic LEGO humor and with greater than 100 playable characters, the sport also includes a powerful roster featuring among the most iconic fan favorites, which include the Hulk and Spider-Man, spanning the complete Marvel Universe, including Stan Lee!”

Marvel fans might be happy to understand that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes not just features all their favorite heroes, however the most iconic locations from the Marvel universe in addition. A few of the areas players will explore include Stark Tower, the Daily Bugle, the Baxter Building, the X-Mansion, Asgard, Doctor Doom’s Castle and more.

As for the tale, players can expect something along the lines of what they saw inside the Avengers but amplified to incorporate all of the Marvel universe. Also, Loki appears to just be slightly player this time around as Galactus returns because the central antagonist.

“The collaboration with LEGO and TT Games, an uninhibited creative process, has resulted into a superior execution that allows you to delight children and adults alike,” said Andreea Enache-Thune, Senior Vp, Games & Digital Distribution, Marvel Entertainment. “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes reaffirms our commitment to quality. With every game build and each trailer that brought us in the direction of the finish line, our enthusiasm has grown exponentially and to assert that we’re excited to look this game come to life is a sarcasm.”

So, how much is that this game going to price? Well, that’s the funny part as LEGO Marvel Super Heroes could have the strangest pricing of any game I’ve ever seen. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will cost $50 on Xbox 360 and PS3, $40 on Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita, $30 on PC and $60 on PS4 and Xbox One. On account that LEGO games generally cost $50 on current gen platforms, it’s sort of surprising to work out them raise the cost to $60 on next-gen platforms. With the additional month of development time, there’s more content in those versions, but I doubt it.
