Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group announce
today’s launch of LEGO®
Dimensions™, the all-new entertainment experience
that allows players to expand their imaginations beyond traditional
gaming to merge physical LEGO brick building and interactive
console gameplay with 14 fan-favourite universes. Developed by TT
Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, LEGO
Dimensions is now available for PlayStation®4 and
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox
360, and Nintendo’s Wii U™ system.
For the first time in any LEGO videogame, 14 iconic
entertainment brands and franchises – DC Comics,
The Lord of the Rings™,
The LEGO
Movie, LEGO
Ninjago™,
Back to the Future™,
The Wizard of Oz™,
Scooby-Doo! ™, LEGO Legends of Chima™,
Doctor Who,
Jurassic World™,
Ghostbusters™,
The Simpsons™,
Portal™ and Midway Arcade
™ – converge in one thrilling adventure. In
the game’s story, a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly
appears and sweeps away characters from various LEGO worlds. To
save their friends, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle bravely jump into
the vortex and quickly find themselves on a journey through
unexpected worlds, teaming up with unlikely allies on a quest to
defeat the evil Lord Vortech.
“This is an entirely new LEGO experience where players can
build the physical toys and play with a mash-up of brands in the
videogame just like they would in real life,” said Jon
Burton, Founder and Creative Director, TT Games. “We wanted
to create a game where players can combine their favorite
characters and universes and play without restrictions. They can
have Scooby-Doo pilot Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet through
Cloud
Cuckoo Land from The LEGO Movie if they want to.
Literally every character can go into any world and use any vehicle
or gadget.”
“LEGO
Dimensions expands our LEGO videogame franchise with
innovation, an amazing range of world-class entertainment
properties and ever-growing gameplay designed for longevity,”
said David Haddad, Executive Vice President and General Manager of
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “LEGO videogames are
some of the most popular in the world because fans love TT
Games’ compelling gameplay mixed with humour.
LEGO
Dimensions builds on this legacy with a new immersive
interactive experience that will evolve the toys to life
category.”
“We are excited to introduce LEGO
Dimensions, a unique gaming experience that brings the
versatility of LEGO play into the digital world. For the
first time, beloved characters from LEGO building sets are
introduced into a gaming experience where fans can mix and
match characters and universes just like they do in the
playroom.” said Niels Jørgensen, Vice President,
Digital Games for the LEGO Group. “We are thrilled to
continue our close partnership with TT Games & Warner
Bros. Interactive Entertainment and to bring a new and different
way of digital LEGO play to children and gaming fans
alike.”
The LEGO
Dimensions Starter Pack includes the videogame, bricks to
build the LEGO Gateway, three LEGO Minifigures, Batman, Gandalf and
Wyldstyle, plus the LEGO Batmobile, and the revolutionary LEGO Toy
Pad, which allows players to transport special LEGO minifigures and
models into the game, as well as direct in-game action all with the
movement of the physical toys. And just as kids have enjoyed
growing their physical brick collections with everything working
together, the LEGO
Dimensions Starter Pack is the entry point for a gaming
system of play that will offer continued compatibility for the
years ahead – everything bought today and expansions added
tomorrow will continue to work together. No compatibility
chart necessary!
The LEGO Toy Pad is an interactive part of the LEGO
Dimensions gameplay experience functioning as an
additional game controller giving players a unique way to interact
with the toys and game throughout the experience. The innovative
LEGO Toy Pad allows any combination of seven characters, vehicles
and gadgets to be simultaneously brought into the game. More
than simply a spawning device, it features three distinct areas of
RGB light technology that produce a broad array of colours to
provide hints and puzzles for the player to solve, bringing
physical and digital play more intertwined than ever
before.
Incorporating the tangible fun and creativity of LEGO brick
building, every LEGO vehicle and gadget, including the LEGO
Batmobile, in LEGO
Dimensions can be physically rebuilt twice, for a total of
three different objects, each with unique in-game abilities, which
add massive variety to gameplay. And not to be over-looked, a
hallmark of LEGO videogames, two-player, local co-operative,
drop-in/drop-out gameplay is also part of LEGO
Dimensions, allowing friends and family members to join
the adventure at any time.
In addition to the 14 levels found in the game’s main
story, players can also access one distinct, freeplay Adventure
World for each of the 14 fan-favourite entertainment properties in
the game. Each world can be unlocked with any LEGO
Dimensions minifigure belonging to that brand, providing
players access to additional gameplay content and exploration
throughout some of the most iconic locations from each
brand’s universe. And just like the story levels in the
game, any character can use any vehicle or gadget in any Adventure
World.
LEGO
Dimensions also allows gamers to customize their
experience with expansion packs from all brands featured in the
game. These highly collectible Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun
Packs provide new buildable characters, vehicles, and gadgets with
special in-game abilities. All expansion packs provide gamers the
opportunity to use everything interchangeably, anywhere throughout
the game.
Back to the Future,
The Simpsons and
Portal Level Packs,
Scooby-Doo! and
Jurassic World Team Packs and DC Comics,
The LEGO
Movie, LEGO
Ninjago,
The Lord of the Rings, LEGO
Chima and
The Wizard of Oz Fun Packs are available now as part of
the wave one release of product. Additional expansion packs will be
released in the November 2015, January, March and May 2016 product
release waves.
Also launching this week is a LEGO
Dimensions companion app which provides players with a
free, easy to use tool that can track personal LEGO
Dimensions expansion pack collections, create wish lists,
and provide additional information about the game and all related
products. With detailed information on the LEGO
Dimensions storyline, instructions for various gameplay
features, and a listing of the in-game abilities and release timing
for each expansion pack, players are able to use the app as a
destination to expand their LEGO
Dimensions knowledge and capabilities, and to track the
availability of future expansion packs alongside their own
collection. The LEGO
Dimensions companion app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and
Android devices is available for download on the App Store and
Google Play™.
