Lego Dimensions is an upcoming Lego action-adventure[1][2] video game developed by Traveller's Tales and published and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. It follows multiple characters from various Lego franchises after a masked villain breaks into multiple worlds. It follows the "toys-to-life" format, in that the player has Lego figures and a portal which can be played within the game itself.[3]

Plot

On a planet in the center of the Lego Multiverse, the evil Lord Vortech seeks the Foundational Elements the planet is built on, which have the power to control the multiverse. To do this, he opens vortexes in many different worlds, recruiting local villains to aid in his search for the Elements and damaging the boundaries between worlds, causing them to merge and characters to be displaced. When Robin, Frodo and Metalbeard are each pulled into the vortexes, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle all jump in after them. The three get pulled into the same vortex and appear in the Land of Oz, deciding to ally with one another and travel the different worlds to find their missing friends and stop Vortech's plan from succeeding.[4]

Franchises

The game will feature characters and worlds from 14 different franchises, including DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, The Lego Movie, The Wizard of Oz, The Simpsons, Lego Ninjago, Doctor Who, Back to the Future, Portal 2, Ghostbusters, Midway Arcade, Scooby-Doo, Lego Chima and Jurassic World.[5] But there will be more franchises yet to come.

Packs

The game will initially have its own starter pack, plus it will have a wide range of packs, split into three categories; fun packs, team packs and level packs.[6]

Notes

  1. ^ All other incarnations of The Doctor (including the War Doctor) are also playable; when players die, they will regenerate, cycling from the First Doctor through to the Twelfth. Peter Capaldi has recorded new dialogue for the character of the Twelfth Doctor, while the other twelve Doctors will feature the voices of their respective actors via archive audio taken from the tv series. The interior of the TARDIS will also change accordingly; for example, the First Doctor's console room will be displayed in monochrome to match the black & white 1960s era.[8]
