It Is Time To Assemble A Team To Save The World In Lego Dimensions

Warner Bros Interactive, Lego and TT Games have announced Lego Dimensions, an all new Lego experience that will allow players to literally assemble their favourite characters and then play in all new ways.



“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.”

Players only need to be the Starter Kit to commence the fun of play Dimensions as included in that kit are Batman, Gandalf and Wildstyle figures, along with a Bat-Mobile and the games portal, all of which need to be built.

“Building on TT Games’ track record for exceptionally popular, engaging games, LEGO Dimensions expands our LEGO videogame franchise with a breakthrough, immersive interactive entertainment experience that will redefine the toys to life games category,” said Jeff Junge, Senior Vice President, LEGO Franchise and TT Games, Warner Bros. Entertainment.  “LEGO Dimensions will bring fans innovative and joyful gameplay with an amazing mash-up of huge brands in both the physical and digital worlds.”

“LEGO Dimensions is unlike anything that we have ever done. It further extends the LEGO play experience into the digital world with all of the characters, humour and action of LEGO videogames now combined with the fun of LEGO minifigure and model building,” said Niels Jørgensen, Vice President, Digital Games for the LEGO Group. “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with TT Games to explore ways in which physical and digital LEGO play can merge in meaningful ways for children.”

When players want to try new things in Dimensions, they only need purchase one of the three types of add-ons. Firstly are Level Packs, one of which features Marty McFly, a Delorian and a hoverboard, secondly Team Packs are also an option, for those that want to change up the characters, Kai and Cole from Ninjago have been announced for the first one and finally are Fun Packs, where you can collect from a large range of characters, including Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Gollum, Gimli, Legolas, Emmet, Bad Cop, Benny, Unikitty, Wicked Witch, Jay, Nya and Zane.

More Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun Packs will be announced before the games September release. One thing to consider though is the cost, the Starter Kits are not cheap and will start at $169.95, with Level Packs priced at $49.95, Team Packs at $39.95 and Fun Packs coming in at $24.95.

If the price does not daunt you, then be sure to look out for Lego Dimensions when it releases on Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 28
