Upper Deck has officially opened pre-orders for Legendary: A DC Deckbuilding Game, the newest standalone core set in the acclaimed Legendary deckbuilding game franchise. The game introduces iconic heroes and villains from across the DC Universe and is scheduled for release in Q3 2026. Available now for preorder at US$99.99, the game can be reserved directly through the Upper Deck Store at UpperDeckStore.com.
Legendary: A DC Deckbuilding Game brings the DC Multiverse into the Legendary system, allowing players to recruit powerful heroes, battle notorious villains, and stop dangerous Masterminds from carrying out their schemes. Designed for one to five players ages 14 and older, the game offers cooperative and competitive gameplay experiences that can be completed in approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
The standalone core set includes 500 playable cards, 14 Super Heroes, five Masterminds, nine Schemes, a deluxe playmat, metal tracker, rulebook, and 60 dividers. Each game presents a unique challenge as players customize their experience through different combinations of heroes, villains, and scenarios.
A major feature debuting in the DC edition is the innovative Hope and Fear Tracker, a dynamic gameplay system that reflects the emotional state of the city. Villains seek to spread fear and chaos while heroes work to inspire hope among the population. Strategic management of the tracker can unlock powerful advantages and create new tactical opportunities throughout the game.
The game also showcases original artwork created specifically for the release, highlighting fan-favorite DC characters and locations while introducing new mechanics designed to be approachable for newcomers and rewarding for longtime Legendary players.
Legendary has become one of tabletop gaming's most successful deckbuilding franchises, spanning multiple entertainment properties and delivering highly replayable gameplay through customizable scenarios, cooperative strategy, and evolving card interactions. The DC core set expands the franchise with one of the most recognizable superhero universes in popular culture.
Customers who preorder through Upper Deck will receive an exclusive "I Am Vengeance" Batman alternate-art promotional card while supplies last. Estimated delivery is currently scheduled for Q3 2026.
