Lego has achieved massive success with its series of games like "Lego Marvel Superheroes" and "Lego Lord of the Rings," which have developed a large player base. However, all of those games had one problem; they were stuck in one universe. What if you could jump between Lego worlds?
This is the idea behind "Lego Dimensions," the company's latest game being made with Warner Bros. Interactive. Lego was teasing a new game with a series of promo pictures featuring Lego Gandalf, Batman and Wyldstyle (from "The Lego Movie") with the hashtag #breaktherules attached. However, one Redditor leaked information about the game on Thursday, Kotaku reported. As soon as the leak was released, Lego and TT Games unveiled a trailer for the new game:
The "Lego Dimensions" Start Pack will come with the game, a "Lego Toy Pad" that allows player to transfer characters into the game, figurines of the Lego Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle and a Lego version of the Batmobile. But this is only the beginning. Lego plans to release "Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun Packs" in the future that will provide players with new characters, new vehicles, new abilities and new worlds.
According to a press release from Lego, "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. Additional packs to round out the 2015 assortment will be announced in the months leading to launch. Further waves of expansion packs will be released regularly following the launch of the game and into 2016."
"Lego Dimensions" will be available for purchase on September 29 and will be playable on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U .
