Warner Bros. has now officially announced LEGO Dimensions. You can watch a trailer above. The first details about the game follow below.
“When kids play with LEGO bricks, they build beyond the singular brands, intermixing all of their favorite characters and universes, and we have come up with a way for players to experience that in games," Burton said. “Now for the first time in a video game, 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 in New Ninjago City--the creative play is endless."
- Launching in September for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Wii U.
- Developed by series steward Traveller's Tales.
- Will fuse together characters from many franchises, including DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, The LEGO Movie, The Wizard of Oz, LEGO Ninjago, Back to the Future, and more to be announced later.
- The $100 Starter Pack includes Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle toys, but more minifgures are on the way, including Gollum and Gimli from The Lord of the Rings, Wonder Woman, Marty McFly from Back to the Future, and The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, among others.
- In-game expansion packs will also be released alongside the new toys in 2015 and 2016.
- TT Games founder and creative director Jon Burton says LEGO Dimensions will deliver "endless" creative play, as gamers will be able to mix franchises like they never could before.
