Warner Bros. has now officially announced LEGO Dimensions following the game’s leak earlier today.

LEGO Dimensions is described as “an all-new entertainment experience that breaks the rules of traditional gaming to merge physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay in a manner only imaginable in the world of LEGO games.” Warner Bros. is featuring various properties, including DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, The LEGO Movie, The Wizard of Oz, LEGO Ninjago, Back to the Future, and more.

The LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack, priced at $99.99, is what players will start with.

Warner Bros. will release additional packs in 2015 and 2016. Level Packs, Team packs, and Fun packs offer “new buildable characters, vehicles, tools and gadgets, as well as compelling game content with new mission-based levels and unique in-game abilities.” Each expansion pack is based on well-known properties.

Upcoming packs include:

A small sample of packs available in 2015 include the Back to the Future Level Pack with a LEGO Marty McFly minifigure, a LEGO Ninjago Team Pack with Kai and Cole minifigures, three Ninjago Fun Packs with Jay, Nya and Zane minifigures, two DC Comics Fun Packs with Wonder Woman and Cyborg minifigures, three The Lord of the Rings Fun Packs with LEGO Gollum, LEGO Gimli and LEGO Legolas minifigures, four The LEGO Movie Fun packs with Emmet, Bad Cop, Benny and Unikitty characters, and a The Wizard of Oz Fun Pack with a LEGO Wicked Witch of the West minifigure.

Warner Bros.’ new toys-to-life game is official. A leak spotted on Reddit reveals that LEGO Dimensions is heading to Wii U.

LEGO Dimensions allows players to scan characters into the game. Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle are included in Dimensions’ Starter Pack, which includes a copy of the title, LEGO Toy Pad, LEGO Gateway building bricks, the 3 LEGO minifigures, and LEGO Batmobile vehicle.

Here’s LEGO Dimensions’ description:

Fossil Fighters: Frontier is coming to Europe on May 29, Nintendo has announced. The game previously came to North America on March 20.

To read up on today’s announcement in full, continue on below.

9th April 2015 – Brave explorers – grab your excavation tools and prepare to head out into the wild world to dig up fossils, because on 29th May, Fossil Fighters Frontier is coming to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems!

In Fossil Fighters Frontier, play as a young Fossil Warden protecting precious Fossil Parks across the world from a cruel villain, Dr. Baron von Blackraven, who is intent on ruling the world using the power of Vivosaurs – extra powerful and extra colourful dinosaurs! Awaiting you in-game will be a huge 3D world with hidden riches to discover while travelling around in your customisable Bone Buggy vehicle. Track down precious fossils, excavate them, before watching them revive into Vivosaurs. You can then send these Vivosaurs – of which there are over 80 to discover in-game – into turn-based battles to take on your enemies.

We first learned that Masahiro Sakurai has been dealing with calcific tendinitis in his right shoulder about two years ago. His condition has improved at least slightly based on what’s written in his latest Famitsu column, though he’s still dealing with the physical problems.

Sakurai wrote:

“I still have trouble with my shoulder and the symptoms of tenosynovitis still remain, so I’m forced to use a special mouse that clicks by inclining for work. If I was to button mash, my arm would give out in 10 minutes.”

Sakurai is currently busy with downloadable content for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. Mewtwo and Lucas are on the way, with more DLC characters to come.
