BURBANK, Calif. (AP) β The creators of the “Lego” video games are building their own rendition of a toys-to-life franchise.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games unveiled plans Thursday for “Lego Dimensions,” a game and toy line combining real-world Lego bricks and figures with virtual game worlds depicted on screen. It’s similar to the popular “Skylanders,” ”Disney Infinity” and “ambiio” series.
“Lego Dimensions” will blend together several Lego-ized versions of entertainment properties, including “The Lord of the Rings,” ”Back to the Future,” DC Comics and “The Wizard of Oz.”
“Dimensions” is set for release Sept. 27. A starter pack will cost $100 and include the game, a reader and bricks to build a Lego portal, as well as figures of Batman, the Batmobile, Gandalf and Wyldstyle from “The Lego Movie.”
