Lego Dimensions Expands with Sixteen New Franchises
June 9, in the year of our Lord 2016 -- Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGOŽ Group today
announced the expansion of LEGOŽ DIMENSIONS™, the LEGOŽ toy and
videogame hybrid, with more blockbuster franchises and even
bigger gameplay possibilities. New expansion packs broaden the
complete selection to 30 of the world’s most popular
entertainment brands allowing players to customise their
experience by mixing and matching favourite characters and
universes with full compatibility. Game features adding to the
fun are all-new, four-player competitive Battle Arenas, a first
for LEGOŽ videogames, as well as Story Packs, which provide
deep, story-driven gameplay around the biggest theatrical
releases and include a fresh LEGOŽ brick building experience.
LEGOŽ Dimensions™ packs based on 16 new entertainment properties
will begin launching on September 30, 2016 with the Ghostbusters
Story Pack, Adventure Time and Mission: Impossible Level Packs,
Harry Potter and Adventure Time Team Packs, and The A-Team Fun
Pack. Additional expansion packs based on other highly
anticipated films Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and
The LEGOŽ Batman Movie and wildly popular properties The
Goonies, Sonic The Hedgehog, Teen Titans Go!, LEGOŽ City
Undercover, Knight Rider, The Powerpuff Girls, Gremlins,
Beetlejuice and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will be released in
product waves stretching into summer of next year. All expansion
packs provide players with continued compatibility to use
everything from waves 1-9 interchangeably, anywhere throughout
the game. And no new starter pack is required, as all new packs
will simply enhance the LEGOŽ Dimensions™ Starter Pack game and
work with the existing LEGOŽ Toy Pad.
“We’ve built upon the existing LEGOŽ DIMENSIONS™ Starter Pack to
expand the gameplay possibilities with entirely new LEGOŽ
experiences that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Tom Stone,
Managing Director, TT Games. “We can now provide players with
even more customization and mash-up opportunities, and all are
compatible with the existing game and packs. Battle Arenas also
introduce a fun new way for friends and family to join the
action together and battle as favorite characters, which is an
exciting innovation for LEGOŽ videogames.”
“LEGOŽ DIMENSION™S is a significant part of our LEGOŽ videogames
portfolio, and we are excited to offer fans many more iconic
entertainment franchises combined with new, enhanced ways to
play,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment. “TT Games continues to innovate and expand the
game experience, which gives players breakthrough digital and
physical gameplay with an amazing amount of world-class
entertainment properties connected together.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with TT Games and
WBIE and bring even more characters to life through LEGOŽ
DIMENSIONS™,” said Niels Jørgensen, Vice President, Digital
Games for the LEGOŽ Group. “The videogame has allowed our fans
to extend their LEGOŽ play experience in a whole new way and the
new expansion packs will create even more play possibilities
through exciting properties.”
All-new Battle Arenas will offer first-to-LEGOŽ videogames
competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players.
LEGOŽ minifigures included in the wave 6 through 9 expansion
packs will come with special, golden Toy Tags which unlock a
Battle Arena within the Free Play Adventure World of the
corresponding entertainment brand. Each Battle Arena has four
different gameplay modes and comes with its own traps, special
powers and interactive environments that make every battle arena
unique.
The Ghostbusters Story Pack, based on the upcoming film, will
provide a complete movie-based gameplay experience with six
puzzle-packed levels and new LEGOŽ Gateway bricks that allow
players to build Zhu’s Chinese Restaurant atop the LEGOŽ Toy
Pad. It will also come with a buildable Abby Yates LEGOŽ
minifigure with Proton Blaster and 3-in-1 buildable Ecto-1 which
can be rebuilt into the Ectozer and The PerfEcto. The pack
unlocks “Rip,” a new Toy Pad mode allowing players to tear open
an alternate universe. In this mirror world, players have the
ability to solve puzzles and affect objects and other items in
the primary universe. And like all gold-tag minifigures
purchased, Abby Yates provides access to a new themed Adventure
World with its own unique Battle Arena. The Ghostbusters Story
Pack is just the first of this new exciting pack type, with
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, based on the highly
anticipated theatrical release, still to come later this year.
The LEGOŽ DIMENSIONS™ packs will be the exclusive construction
toy offering this Christmas for the exciting expansion of J.K
Rowling’s Wizarding World.
Story Packs also expand the Starter Pack story with deeper
gameplay. In the game’s storyline, the evil Lord Vortech has
hidden portions of his powers around the LEGOŽ Multiverse. As
players progress through Story Pack levels, they can unearth and
tap into Keystone Runes to use Lord Vortech’s powers against him
through all-new Toy Pad modes.
Developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment, LEGOŽ DIMENSIONS™ is now available for
PlayStationŽ4 and PlayStationŽ3 computer entertainment systems,
Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the Wii U™ system.
