Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Despite the introduction of LEGO Dimensions, Warner Bros. Interactive has no plans to stop creating one-off LEGO games.
LEGO Marvel’s Avengers game director Arthur Parsons told Polygon:
“One million percent this is not the last Lego standalone game. The first day Lego Dimensions was announced internally, we were told there will be a standalone video games alongside Lego Dimensions. People love Lego video games and we will continue to make Lego video games.”
LEGO games have a tendency to tease future entries. As an example, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes teased LEGO Batman 3 in the post-credits. LEGO Batman 3 hinted at LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. Unsurprisingly, the latter title has a tease as well.
“There’s a tease at the end of this one too,” Parsons noted. “But you’ll have to play it to find out what it is.”
