How TT Games is leveling up the open world of Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2

Big game companies have gotten into the habit of releasing sequels that are much larger than the prior games. And that’s the case with Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, which is being developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

We played a preview of the game and sat down with game director Arthur Parsons of TT Games, who was also the leader on the previous game. He said this one features more playable characters (there were 180 of them in the last game), a bigger story in terms of minutes of game play, and a bigger world in the form of Chronopolis. In this story, the villain Kang wants to rule everything, so he pulls all of the realities together, and in doing so, he threatens to destroy the whole Marvel Universe.
