About Superman Returns: The Videogame

When villains run rampant, only one man can rescue a world in peril. Will you be able to master your superpowers to save Metropolis?

Inspired by the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures feature film and more than 60 years of DC Comics’ lore, Superman Returns™: The Videogame will create the ultimate open-world super hero experience.

As the Man of Steel™, you’ll hone your unworldly super powers such as Flight, X-Ray Vision, Heat Vision, Super Hearing, Super Strength, Super Speed, and Super Breath to fight villains that only Superman™ can defeat. Explore your super powers to discover new uses and combinations: use Heat Vision to melt a rogue car or as a focused laser-like beam to battle a supervillain; use Super Breath to move heavy objects or freeze villains into solid ice. You can also combine powers and interact with your environment; use super strength to pick up a water tower, fly it to the scene of a fire, throw it in the air and use heat vision to blast it, dousing the flames below.

Get ready to take flight, as Superman Returns’ revolutionary new mechanics allow you to take full command of your aerial maneuvers. You’re not limited to flying over 800 mph (faster than a speeding bullet™) — you can also corral your enemies, perform stunning in-air acrobatics, instigate Super Speed missile-like attacks, and much more.

In Superman Returns: The Videogame, you explore and protect the truly living city of Metropolis — one that is not only expansive (with 80 sq miles and over 8,000 buildings), but also changes dynamically with you as you affect gameplay. (the citizens cheering has not been finalized and having them run away in terror makes it sound like they are running from Superman.)

Superman may be invincible, but Metropolis is not. Player choice matters, as Metropolis’ destruction will affect your ability to progress. You must face the internal conflict facing Superman at every turn: will you pause your pursuit of super villains to stop a massive tornado sweeping through the city and save its civilians? Every decision made is critical to Metropolis’ existence and can affect the collateral damage meter, which ultimately keeps the player in the game.

This is not just another movie-based game. This is the Superman game you’ve always wanted to play. Utilizing more than 60 years of rich history, Superman Returns: The Videogame is the ultimate Superman experience for players.
