LEGO Dimensions will be supported with new content over the next three years
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
With Skylanders and Disney Infinity, we’ve become accustomed to yearly releases. However, with LEGO Dimensions, Warner Bros. won’t be taking the same approach.
Speaking with GameSpot, TT Games founder and creative director Jon Burton noted that Warner Bros. won’t be bringing out a new Starter Pack next year. Fans can instead look forward to new content, likely in the form of different packs.
Burton also mentioned that there are plans in place to support LEGO Dimensions for the next three years.
Burton’s comments in full:
We absolutely see Dimensions as a platform. They’ll be no new Starter Set next year, but lots of new content that will be compatible with everything we release. We already have plans for the next three years and plenty of companies have approached us to get involved. We’ll have lots of exciting new announcements in the new year.

The Simpsons and Portal are being featured in LEGO Dimensions as new Level Packs. Walmart also reveals the existence of Jurassic World and Scooby Doo Team Packs, as well as a few Chima Fun Packs (Cragger, Eris, and Laval).
LEGO Dimensions arrives in late September. Warner Bros. will be making official announcements about the game leading up to launch.
Tentative LEGO Dimensions minifigures list
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
LEGO Dimensions players will be able to transport special figures into the game when it launches later this year. Thanks to a blurry box image, we know of a few characters that will be sold once LEGO Dimensions hits store shelves.
The image seems to show minifigures like Krusty, Superman, and Bart. It’s also thought that Chell from Portal will be featured. The extreme blurriness of the picture makes it difficult to make out some characters, but we should be seeing announcements from Warner Bros. at some point in the future.
