DC Heroes United is a new interactive series from the makers of Silent Hill: Ascension
- DC Heroes United is a new interactive series playable on mobile
- You’ll make weekly decisions guiding the actions of famous heroes like Batman and Superman
- It’s also from the, er, people behind Silent Hill: Ascension
Whenever we read a monthly comic book I don’t think I’m alone in saying that sometimes you might scoff and say, “Well I wouldn’t do something like that.” Well, all you sceptics and comic book nerds now have the chance to put your metaphorical money where your figurative mouth is. And that’s because the new interactive series, playable on mobile, DC Heroes United, is out now!
DC Heroes United is a new interactive series streaming on Tubi, where viewers like you can tune in and watch the adventures of the Justice League (Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Superman and more) from the moment they first join together. Not only that, but by picking and making choices, you’ll be able to influence the plot, and even who lives and who dies.
It’s not the first time DC has done this (the “Does Jason Todd Live or Die” hotline comes to mind). But it is the first time Genvid, the folks behind the somewhat divisive Silent Hill: Ascension, has tackled this kind of genre, as you’ll view and influence action on Earth-212, a continuity only just coming to grips with superheroes.
Crisis on infinite outcomes
Now, I’m going to temper the urge to poke fun at Genvid and actually give them a bit of a fair shake. For one, let’s be honest, comic books can be big dumb fun, and some would say superhero books are at their best when they are like that. Meanwhile, Silent Hill is not exactly known for its cartoony action and silly costumes. So, arguably, Genvid may have a much better chance of giving their idea of an interactive series some legs here.
Second, DC Heroes United actually does come with a “proper” roguelite mobile release bundled into it. And just by that metric, it’s already leagues ahead of its predecessor (pun intended). The first episode of DC Heroes United is now available to view on Tubi! So will it spread its wings and soar? Or crash to the ground? We’ll have to wait and see.
