Warner Bros. Interactive has released the San Diego Comic-Con 2015 trailer for LEGO Dimensions, which focuses on Doctor Who. Check it out below.

Also worth mentioning, LEGO Dimensions features every incarnation of Doctor Who.

Here’s everything you need to know about Doctor Who’s presence in LEGO Dimensions:

Doctor Who, which has never before been in a LEGO videogame, will be playable in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack with a complete Doctor Who level where the game’s heroes continue their quest while encountering Daleks, Cybermen and other adversaries from the Whoniverse.

Fans who want more Doctor Who in LEGO Dimensions will be able to purchase the Doctor Who Level Pack which includes an additional mission-based Doctor Who level, along with a LEGO minifigure of the 12th Doctor and LEGO models of the TARDIS and K-9, all playable in the game. When the 12th Doctor is defeated in the level, he returns as the 1st Doctor and then regenerates back up to the 12th Doctor again. The interior of the TARDIS will reflect the corresponding Doctor the player embodies or can be manually selected. There’s even a jukebox inside where players can choose among different versions of the Doctor Who theme music. The TARDIS and K-9 models can each be physically built and then rebuilt twice to do entirely different things in the digital game for massive variety.

There will also be a Doctor Who Fun Pack, which includes a playable Cyberman minifigure and Dalek model which can be physically built and then rebuilt twice for a total of three different objects.

Finally, Warner Bros. Interactive has confirmed that actors from Doctor Who will be reprising their roles in LEGO Dimensions. This includes:

– Peter Capaldi – 12th Doctor
– Jenna Coleman – Clara Oswald
– Michelle Gomez – Missy

The folks over at We Are Just Gamers published an interview with Manfred Linzner from Shin’en. Much of the talk focuses on FAST Racing Neo.

At one point, Linzner was asked if there are any plans to release DLC for its upcoming Wii U racer. This is ruled out quickly, with Linzner stating: “We want to release all content we created at launch of the game.”

Linzner also commented on FAST Racing Neo’s music, and confirmed that there are plans to bring out a soundtrack “at a later date.”

“For the music in FRN we tried a fresh style. We wanted something that could sound like from an 2015 Arcade Game. We really love how the music developed for the game. We plan to release the soundtrack at a later date.”

FAST Racing Neo will only be on Wii U. However, it sounds like Shin’en has at least some interest in seeing “a futuristic racer on a new handheld”.

“We currently have no plans to bring FRN to another system. However, i think a futuristic racer on a new handheld would be great.”
