Warner Bros. confirms the Skylanders-like LEGO Dimensions 

Overnight, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group confirmed LEGO Dimensions, described as “an all-new entertainment experience that breaks the rules of traditional gaming to merge physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay in a manner only imaginable in the world of LEGO games.”

The game fuses together several LEGO and Warner Bros. properties including DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, The LEGO MovieThe Wizard of Oz, LEGO Ninjago, Back to the Future and others yet to be announced.

“When kids play with LEGO bricks, they build beyond the singular brands, intermixing all of their favourite characters and universes, and we have come up with a way for players to experience that in games,” said Jon Burton, Founder and Creative Director, TT Games.

“Now for the first time in a videogame, LEGO fans can play in the virtual world and in the real world – combining everything without restrictions. Imagine putting LEGO Gollum from The Lord of the Rings behind the wheel of the LEGO DeLorean Time Machine in New Ninjago City – the creative play is endless.”

The game’s Starter Pack will offer three minifigure heroes, and further customisation will be available using Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun Packs that provide new buildable characters, vehicles, tools and gadgets.

“A small sample of packs available in 2015 include the Back to the Future Level Pack with a LEGO Marty McFly minifigure, a LEGO Ninjago Team Pack with Kai and Cole minifigures, three Ninjago Fun Packs with Jay, Nya and Zane minifigures, two DC Comics Fun Packs with Wonder Woman and Cyborg minifigures, three The Lord of the Rings Fun Packs with LEGO Gollum, LEGO Gimli and LEGO Legolas minifigures, four The LEGO Movie Fun packs with Emmet, Bad Cop, Benny and Unikitty characters, and a The Wizard of Oz Fun Pack with a LEGO Wicked Witch of the West minifigure,” Warner Bros. confirmed.

LEGO Dimensions will be available from 28 September on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and Wii U.
