The highly anticipated LEGO Marvel's Avengers game from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games has just been delayed. Word is out that the new title from the Lego Marvel series will be released in January 2016.

The announcement was made on Thursday at Gamescom 2015. It was previously expected that the title will come out this fall. However, delays forced the developers to release the LEGO Marvel's Avengers next year.

According to Comic Book Resources, the second title in the franchise based its story from the films, "Marvel's The Avengers' that came out in 2012 and this year's blockbuster, "Avengers: Age of Ultron." This is the first time that the game will take on the plot from the movie.

The previous LEGO Marvel Super Heroes title that came out in 2013 had an original plot that was made by the developers although the characters were all taken from the Marvel cast, noted Game Spot.

Game Director Arthur Parsons revealed that the developers linked the stories from the two movies to weave the upcoming game.

"It's not like in the old games where you'd play 'Avengers' and then play 'Avengers: Age of Ultron," said the game director. "That wouldn't work because if the time lapse in between. So what we've done is stitch them together."

Parson added that the "opening level" of the game was taken from the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" scene when the superheroes attacked the castle. As Iron Man takes hold of Loki's staff, it transports the scene to the first "Avengers" movie.

Aside from the usual superheroes included in the movies, it has been confirmed that around 150 new Marvel superheroes never before seen in the movies will be added in the game.

Andy Robertson from Forbes was able to see the game demo and noticed the characters of Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, Speed, Jane Foster and Squirrel Game in the title.

The characters are not yet complete, and executive producer Phil Ring revealed that they are still accepting suggestions on who else to add to the game.

For those who will pre-order the game, a special bonus Silver Centurion Iron Man LEGO mini-figure will be given away along with the title. This suit is just among the few available for Iron Man in the upcoming game.

LEGO Marvel's Avengers will be released in the United States on Jan. 26, 2016 and on Jan. 29, 2016 in Europe on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Windows PC and Mac.
