Probably one of the worst kept secrets in the industry right now is the existence of LEGO DC Villains, an upcoming release in the long running LEGO franchise. Sources that leaked the existence of LEGO The Incredibles have discussed the existence of this game months ago, and early retailer listings haven’t helped with the secret, either. Still, WB has remained tight lipped with confirming the game, but a new tweet from the company seems to indicate that an announcement is just around the corner.
TT Games just tweeted out an image showing the shadow of a LEGO Joker, being cast on green graffiti that reads “Chaos is coming”. A teaser site has also been set up with similar imagery, and a timer that’s set to just over six days is slowly ticking away. Once the timer runs out, it’s likely that WB will finally confirm LEGO DC Villains, hopefully with a trailer to show off as well. Given the close relationship this series has had with Nintendo platforms in the past, it seems likely, too, that this'll be announced for the Switch.

Hopefully it's good!
This will be the 25th LEGO title released since LEGO Star Wars in 2005,that's not including mobile only games. In all there's been 67 LEGO video games released since 1997.Surely that has to be some sort of video game record? I haven't enjoyed a single one I've played.
The only LEGO game I like is City Undercover & the best version is on Wii U because of an awesome GamePad usage. All others mainline titles are mediocre at best, gameplay is too dull to hold my attention.

Same.
I only interested with LEGO City Undercover Wii U / Switch.
I have no interest at all with Super heroes LEGO games.
Warner Bros. wasting their time when they should just port every single Mortal Kombat games in existence to Switch so to shut me up about wanting them.
The first Lego Marvel on the Wii U was the best to me. Great cast list (including the X-Men and the FF) and perfect use of the gamepad for maps/menus.
Lego City Undercover is my favorite Lego game. Aside from that I liked Star Wars and a couple of the superhero games were ok. I wouldn't pay full price for one though.
@retro_player_22 I have some insider info: they're keeping them off the platform to specifically spite you.
I've only ever played Lego City Undercover, on Wii U, but we absolutely loved it in our house.
I love the Lego games. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and of course The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings games were total favourites, I was less keen on the batman and DC games BUT a villains one could be really fun.
Law of diminishing return. I loved Lego City because it was the first one I played, but I soon realised that WB doesn't have any plans to change anything in these games.
Even the jokes are recycled.
I do really enjoy the Lego games. My favourite Lego games are Lego City Undercover and Lego Marvel Super Heroes because I love their open worlds so much. Seriously I don't even need the levels as long as you give me a Lego hub on the scale of these two
Enough of Lego games, give us the Batman Arkham series, Injustice 2, Lord of the Rings... !!
Dont get me wrong I'll be picking this up but SURELY we have to be hitting saturation of Lego superhero games. We've had what 3 Lego Batman, 3 Marvel games, Lego Incredibles, and now DC Villians? Kinda surprised we haven't heard about a new Lego Star Wars or Lego Jurassic world 2.
I am growing a little weary of these games, but my 4 year old certainly isn’t!
@abe_hikura
We've had 4 LEGO Star Wars games so far (5 if you count the complete collection).
I love Lego games but sometimes I just can't appreciate them because it feels like they've been rushed and left unpolished. Although they've still made some pretty great games before. I loved the Lego Indiana Jones game for the Wii.
Gosh, there have been an absurd number of Lego games recently!
Yay... Lego Batman 4....
@LegendOfPokemon Well it's pretty easy to make, just change the lego skins and add some new levels, it's not like they have to make whole new game or anything, just keep reusing the same engine since the PS2 days....
Forever Evil lego would be awesome!
I must get this. The villains were my favorite part of the LEGO Batman games.
Some people just wanna watch the blocks burn. Where do we get these wonderful toys?
Countdown to announcement? I find that really Strange. But what would really be chaos, is at the end of the countdown, the game is released. Nobody will see that coming.
The Lego games are nice and all, but I wish we'd get a new Super hero adventure RPG or something like that. Or even a more old school action platformer or something.
Or imagine a Marvel game playing not as a super hero but as an Agent of Shield, backing up the Avengers or something.
Or a DC game where you play through a scenario about the formation of the Justice League (like the cartoon) but where you can play through it as any of the main characters?
There is so much we could get from Superhero games, but aside from the Batman Arkam games, all we ever get are Lego games and Street Fighter style arcade fighters...
I remember some hype about a PS4 Spiderman game, but I haven't heard much since so I wonder if it got delayed or flopped... I'll have to check.
Lego Marvel was amazing. Open World is super fun. If this game has an Open World aspect to it the size of Manhattan, its a day one purchase for me.
I haven't played a lego game in years even though loads have come out and I love me some DC and joker antics so I'll probably check this out
@oji
Telling me lego marvel was bad!?
C'mon man
I say this every time, but if they keep making these Lego games, I will keep buying. It's a bizarre addiction, and can't put my finger on what it is that keeps me entertained, but I just can't get enough. So, YES! More Lego! I tore through Lego Worlds, Marvel Super Heroes 2, and Undercover on the Switch so far, and can't wait for more.
I'd actually love it if they brought some of the older releases back, even as a collection - Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter, LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean...while I own them all through Steam, I much prefer playing on the Switch and would re-buy without a second thought.
I have to admit, I don't care for Lego games kinda.
Oh joy. Another lego game...
