LEGO Dimensions takes characters and worlds from some of the largest franchises and brilliantly brings them together into an interactive experience that combines physical LEGO brick building with interactive gameplay. But why? How?
How is Batman in Oz? How does Jurassic World mix with Doctor Who? A new trailer released today answers those questions. And if you still don't get it after watching the story trailer above, here's a more descriptive explanation from Warner Bros.:
"In the game, there is an ancient planet at the center of the LEGO Multiverse inhabited by an evil mastermind, Lord Vortech. It is said that he who controls the Foundational Elements that this planet is built upon, controls all of the Multiverse. Lord Vortech has vowed to be that ruler, summoning characters from a variety of LEGO worlds to help him find these building bricks of LEGO civilization. Some have agreed, others have rebelled, and only the combined powers of the greatest LEGO heroes can stop him.
When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and The LEGO Movie are swept away. To save their friends, LEGO Batman, LEGO Gandalf and LEGO Wyldstyle journey to locations beyond their wildest imaginations, and they soon realize that Lord Vortech is summoning villains from across different LEGO worlds to help him gain control. As his power grows, worlds mix, unexpected characters meet and all boundaries are broken. Our heroes must travel through space and time to rescue their friends before the vortexes destroy all of LEGO humanity."
LEGO Dimension is set to launch on September 27, 2015 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and Wii U.
