We’ve previously posted about the upcoming LEGO DIMENSIONS game, which will allow players to 1) construct LEGO figures which can then be…2) placed into a video game by way of a ‘portal’ similar to SKYLANDERS or DISNEY INFINITY…and 3) mix up characters from different franchises (like THE WIZARD OF OZ, LEGO MOVIE, DC, DOCTOR WHO, etc) over the course of adventures.
One of the first sets out of the gates when DIMENSIONS launches this September is dedicated to BACK TO THE FUTURE - and LEGO has now issued a new reel promoting that franchise’s level pack. Said promo features Christopher Lloyd in something of a soft-reprise of his ‘Doc Brown’ role from those films.
Meanwhile...
LEGO has released more information regarding new packs and characters that’ll make their way to DIMENSIONS in the months following the title’s release...
====================
LEGO Dimensions will allow gamers to customize their experience post-launch and throughout the first half of 2016 with additional packs from the previously announced brands, including: DC Comics Team Pack featuring LEGO Joker and LEGO Harley Quinn minifigures, three additional DC Comics Fun Packs featuring LEGO Superman, LEGO Aquaman and LEGO Bane minifigures, Back to the Future Fun Pack with LEGO Doc Brown minifigure and two additional LEGO Ninjago Fun Packs with Sensei Wu and Lloyd minifigures.
These highly collectible Team Packs and Fun Packs will provide new buildable characters, vehicles, tools and gadgets, as well as special in-game abilities. All expansion packs provide gamers the opportunity to use everything interchangeably, anywhere throughout the game, in any world with any character – there are no limitations.
Players can bring up to seven characters, vehicles and weapons into the LEGO Dimensions game all at once by placing them on the LEGO Toy Pad to create extreme gameplay cross-overs, such as LEGO Superman piloting the LEGO DeLorean Time Machine through Hill Valley or LEGO Doc Brown fighting alongside LEGO Bane in New Ninjago City.
Future expansion pack purchases will continue to work with the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack, even in the fall of next year. No compatibility chart necessary.
Additional well-known brands and expansion packs joining the adventure for 2015 and 2016 will be announced in the coming months.
Launching September 27, 2015, LEGO Dimensions, will be available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation4 and PlayStation3 computer entertainment systems and the Wii U system from Nintendo.
