Black Panther Might Not Get A Game, But He Is Playable In Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2

In the past, it seemed like every superhero movie would have a tie-in game--often of questionable quality. That era seems to be over, as superheroes now frequently have their own game series independent of films, and this week's Black Panther release will pass without an accompanying game. However, you can play as Black Panther in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 starting now.

In addition to Black Panther himself, the DLC includes a bunch more content related to the movie. It comes with six new characters: Black Panther in his Vibranium Suit, Okoye, Nakia, Erik Killmonger, Ulysses Klaue, and Everett K. Ross.

In addition, the DLC pack adds a new level to the game related to the movie. According to a press release, the level takes place in the Kingdom of Wakanda, and "players will take the legendary Wakandan Super Hero and his sister Shuri on a dangerous mission within the darkest depths of their homeland."

The pack is available today on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $3. It's also available as a part of the season pass, which costs $15 and comes with several other character packs. As for the film Black Panther, it hits theaters this Friday, February 16. While you wait, you can check out our feature on Black Panther's Wakanda Kingdom and be sure to read our Black Panther review.
