Like regular LEGO bricks, the possibilities in LEGO Dimensions will be endless. Okay, maybe not endless, but Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainmen's new "entertainment experience" that merges brick building with an interactive video game will at least encourage you to build, rebuild, and re-rebuild.
Confirmed today through a brand new trailer, every vehicle and gadget in LEGO Dimensions can be physically built and then rebuilt twice for a total of three different objects that do entirely different thing sin the digital video game world. You'll see in the trailer that building and rebuilding the various vehicles and gadgets into different objects will provide all-new abilities.
The trailer shows us a few examples, but Warner Bros. provided us with a much more direct explanation:
"For example, the LEGO vehicle bricks that come in the Starter Pack can be used to build the LEGO Batmobile that enables players to activate accelerator switches. The Batmobile can be rebuilt and transformed into the LEGO Batblaster which adds Sonar Smash, a sonar gun that has the ability to break LEGO sonar bricks. The vehicle can then be rebuilt again as the LEGO Sonic Batray which adds a special attack in the form of a missile barrage. Players can fuse an upgraded vehicle to the LEGO Toy Tag, enabling them to take it and any new abilities with them to a friend’s game or wherever they’d like to play. Players can do this with every vehicle and every gadget from every pack."
In addition to this new feature, Warner Bros. also confirmed a number of franchises that'll be playable in LEGO Dimensions. So far here are the franchise's you'll be able to mix-and-match together:
- The Simpsons
