Movie tie-ins are back, folks! DC League of Superheroes will bite cinemas next year, and Warner Bros has a PlayStation 4 video game tie-in in the pipeline as well. Aptly named DC League of Superpets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace, it’s being handled by Outright Games, a firm which appears to have tapped into a niche by licensing kids-friendly brands like Peppa Pig.
The game’s due out next Spring, presumably in time for the movie which will hit theatres on 20th May. There’s very little information on the game itself, but it appears to be a fairly simplistic Panzer Dragoon-esque rails-shooter. “Fly over the city skylines as Krypto and Ace [and] save the day with each of their unique and powerful ability upgrades,” the brief press release reads.

Lmao
Well...not exactly the Superman game many of us have been asking for, probably as close as we're going to get too 😅🥲
[insert Game of the Year joke here]
On-rails shooter is a better option that most of the half-baked open-world/platformer shlock that licensed movie games have gotten a lot of recently. Looks fun and decent for its target audience!
Shame it's not a PS5 exclusive. Might help them shift those consoles that are sat on the shelves of all the stores!
Next generation,mobile
Game
Hard pass on low game class
@nessisonett Is Anti Matter still alive? O_o
Awww man. I was hopeful for this as I wouldn't mind another light hearted game but screw on rails shooters. Will wait for the next colourful family friendly gamd.
@RogerRoger I’m afraid I’m gonna have to boycott this one out of principle. Krypto lacking dog genitals is a moral affront 😛
Panzer Dogoon
Congrats on the devs for this game for having some guts to show gameplay!
@RogerRoger I guess we’ll have to wait for the review to see if it’s the dog’s unmentionables or just plain unmentionables!
I couldn’t get into the concept of animal super heroes as a kid and I still don’t get the appeal of it tbh . The whole thing that made superheroes cool we’re that they had the attributes or powers of an animal . But if the animal is an animal then it sucks imo .
Krypto the super dog!
We haven't had a Superman game in 15 years and yet Krypto gets one
Should be great on my iphone 4.
@Jayofmaya @nessisonett Judging from his profile, he hasn't been active since January, only returning to the site in April, July, and September for a few random comments/posts.
It's clear he's abandoned PushSquare in favor of NintendoLife.
@KidBoruto Ahh ok. I did the same thing but the other way around tbf.
