Synopsis
The game will serve as the "bridge between seasons" as its story will account for many of the changes in personality and abilities that several members underwent between the first and second seasons of the show.

The plot of Young Justice: Legacy takes place approximately a year before the beginning of Young Justice: Invasion. During this period, Batman continues serving as the Team's mission provider and Nightwing has yet to be promoted to Team leader. Aqualad, Artemis, Kid Flash, Zatanna, and Rocket all have yet to leave the Team for their respective reasons, and Batgirl, Robin, Beast Boy and Tempest have joined. Bumblebee and Lagoon Boy are also part of the Team, but do not appear as they're on another mission. Red Arrow is a major, non-playable character; the Team discovers parts of his diary, depicting his adventures during the five-year time skip. Black Canary and Red Tornado also appear, providing training and equipment, respectively.

In the game's first mission, the Team is tasked with finding an archaeologist who has gone missing. During their investigation, the conflict escalates greatly and they discover a greater plot involving The Light and its many operatives. Throughout this time period, the Team confronts twelve supervillains including an "unknown" villain who has not appeared on the animated series and is unique to the game. In early demonstration gameplay, the Team sends a squad to a complex temple-like area in Santa Prisca where they face Spider Robots created by Lex Luthor and League of Shadows assassins. They also battle Bane who appears to be guarding an ancient door. Several members of the Justice League, namely Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern, also fight alongside the Team during certain missions.

Gameplay
Young Justice: Legacy is an action role-playing game with puzzle elements. Players select three characters from a larger roster consisting of members of the Team. With these three characters, the players traverse various field areas, defeating enemies as they attempt to complete their mission. Each player has the option to switch their control between the three active characters while on the field. Only a limited roster of characters is available at the beginning of the game, but more characters can be unlocked as the game progresses. Four additional characters can also be unlocked through a DLC pack that will be released near the game's launch.

Each character has a unique set of special abilities to use on the battlefield as well as certain strengths and weaknesses that define each character's role during battle. Characters and their abilities level up as they progress through missions. Every character also has at least three costumes, some from beyond the context of Earth-16, that changes both the character's appearance as well as how they play. For example, Nightwing will have a costume based on his classic comic appearance and Artemis will have a costume based on the Huntress.

The game will feature several unlockable modes of gameplay including a challenge mode where players will be presented with certain tasks to accomplish, such as defeating a certain amount of enemies without taking damage.
