A report emerged last week that Warner Bros. has put an end to LEGO Dimensions. Today, the news has been officially confirmed.
LEGO Dimensions will not be receiving any new packs in the future. Existing content will still be sold, however, and support will continue to be provided.
The LEGO Dimensions Twitter account published the following message a short while ago:
From building and rebuilding to the most bricktacular mash-ups, the Multiverse would be nothing without our amazing community. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/NEDbBXqjyZ

Naoto Ohshima was the original designer of Sonic. To celebrate the upcoming launch of Sonic Forces, Ohshima drew some new art for the game. Check it out above.
Ohshima also did something similar for Sonic Mania a few months ago. You can find that piece of art here.
It wasn’t too long ago that Dark Horse announced the release of The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia in North America. Fans will be able to pick up the book on April 24.
For those looking for something a little extra, Dark Horse will also be publishing a deluxe edition. It’s covered in gold foil paper with embossed, debossed and textured features. Also included is a black polypropylene sleeve lined with velvet flocking and a scale instruction booklet. The deluxe edition is a neat way to pay tribute to the very first Zelda game.
You’ll be able to get your hands on the deluxe edition April 24, the same day as the standard version. Pricing is set at $80.
Morphite may finally have a release date on Switch. According to a listing on the eShop, Blowfish Studios will be publishing the title on November 2.
Morphite was originally planned for September 7 on Switch. However, it was then delayed to September 21, and was pushed back a second time due to a technical issue.
We’re hoping that the November 2 release date will stick this time around. Also, while it’s not yet confirmed, a November 2 release in North America is very likely as well.

The Super NT, a little console by Analogue chock-full of SNES games, comes with a cool little surprise. Super Turrican: Director’s Cut will be released for the first time. This is the complete, original, untrimmed version of the Super Turrican released in 1993, and the Director’s Cut is 50% larger in file size. Analogue’s Christoper Taber says it has “a new level with new music, more enemies, better sound effects and graphics and even a new way to use the beam weapon.”
For those who haven’t heard, the Super NT is a reimagining of the SNES. It’s described as “the definitive way to explore Nintendo’s 16-bit era” and is compatible with the 2,200+ SNES and Super Famicom game cartridge library.
Whether you played Turrican in your youth or not, it is bound to be a new experience.
The Nintendo UK store has started taking pre-orders for Snipperclips Plus. You can pre-order it here.
Snipperclips Plus is an expanded version of the original game with more than 30 new stages, including a world based on comic books and a toy box world. If you’ve already purchased the initial release on the eShop, you may want to hold off on buying this one – assuming you’re not interested in having it physically. Nintendo will be offering the “Plus” content as DLC for owners of the original game.
