Warner Bros 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 the 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.
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.
