Zero Time Dilemma is a violent experience, especially when compared to its predecessor. Producer Kotaro Uchikoshi spoke about this aspect of the game with Siliconera.

Uchikoshi stated that the team was “holding back” with Virtue’s Last Reward. Given the importance of this entry though – the finality of it all – Spike Chunsoft decided to go all out.

He explained:

“I spoke with the producer, Iizuka-san, and since this is the third and final entry in the series we should do all of the things that we’ve always wanted too. We were holding back before, but this is a chance to do everything. Since the game revolves around making absolute decisions life and death hangs in the balance. If we were to pull our punches, it would take away a lot of the narrative impact. By making the violence more extreme it makes the choices hit home.”

For the most part, the team behind LEGO Dimensions managed to include the games they wanted to in the new Midway Arcade pack. There were a couple that were scrapped though. Mortal Kombat and APB both did not make it into the final product.

Mark Warburton, associate producer of LEGO Dimensions, explained to Polygon that Mortal Kombat didn’t make it in given the main demographic the game is targeted at. In the end, it just wasn’t the best fit.

Warburton said:

“There was an age consideration. We had to take into account the typical age of our players and what sort of content we usually have. Some of the more mature games we decided we didn’t think was the right fit for the game.”
