Rocket Company, the team behind the Medabots games, has a new 3DS title in the works for Imagineer known as “Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort”. The entire experience is based on a jailbreak attraction featured in the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, which has players using their wits and cooperate to make it out.

There’s not much information about the actual 3DS game. However, here’s what we know about the real-life attraction:

– In the attraction, players are put in a giant prison
– Different challenges along the way
– Areas are filled with all kinds of doors and rooms
– Over 100 missions
– Stages have hidden clues and gimmicks that must be solved in order to advance
– The main themes behind the Ultimate Fort attraction are maze, problem-solving, cooperation, and stamina
– Since some of the stages can take a while
The puzzles may be a little tough at times, which is why there’s an option for people to retire and leave the attraction
– The 3DS title might not be as lenient for players

Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort launches in Japan this summer.

According a report from VideoGamer, Warner Bros. is working on a LEGO toys-to-life game that will release later this year. Traveller’s Tales is said to be making the title that will launch alongside compatible LEGO figures.

Assuming VideoGamer’s article is accurate, that means we’d be seeing three big LEGO games this year – LEGO Jurassic Park and LEGO Marvel’s Avengers being the other two. It’d also mean that Skylanders and Disney Infinity would have a new competitor.
