“We are incredibly excited to partner with the film’s principle cast to bring the Fantastic 4 characters to life in the video game,” said Will Kassoy, vice president of global brand management, Activision Publishing. “This game will let Fantastic 4 fans use the heroes’ distinctive super powers to battle evil in high-level action sequences from the film, as well as all-new dangerous living worlds exclusive to the game.”

Challenged to master the individual powers of each Super Hero and combine them to level even more devastating attacks, players must battle some of Marvel’s most notorious Super Villains, including, the ultimate evil — Doctor Doom — to save the human race from disaster.
