With a host of iconic characters and superheroes, developers Crystal Dynamics (best known for their development of the Tomb Raider franchise) have a huge task ahead of them to do this game justice.

If you pre-order the game through select retailers you will receive beta access to the game.
The game launches on the 15th May, with beta access available to all platforms.
However, the PS4 will receive access 7 days earlier - it is unconfirmed when the beta will launch.
