Back in early May, details were leaked that revealed Lego Dimension sets, that weren’t officially announced. Well now they have been officially confirmed by TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, which now also includes Ghostbusters and Midway Arcade sets. However, images of the latter two have not been released, so we’ll just have to take their word for it via the official press release. To mark this announcement, a new trailer, screenshots and images of (some of) the sets has been released.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment confirmed today that LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical brick building with interactive console gameplay, will include gameplay from The Simpsons™, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters™, Portal®, Jurassic World™, Midway Arcade, LEGO® Chima™and Scooby Doo! ™

These fan favourite worlds, most of which have never before been in a LEGO videogame, will converge with the previously announced DC Comics,The Lord of the Rings™, The LEGO® Movie™, The Wizard of Oz™, LEGO® Ninjago™and Back to the Future™ worlds in one thrilling adventure playable with the LEGODimensions Starter Pack.

The newly confirmed sets include Ghostbusters, Midway Arcade (as already stated), The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Scooby-Do, Portal, Lego Chima and Jurassic World. Also what the trailer interestingly shows, is that the Lego vehicle used, is built in three different ways and each one is implemented into the game, which I find quite impressive. Though in saying that, you can’t build anything you want, as you have to stick with the set variations included with each set, as explained from the press release below.

The LEGO vehicle bricks that come in the Starter Pack can be used to build the LEGO Batmobile that enables players to activate accelerator switches. The Batmobile can be rebuilt and transformed into the LEGO Batblaster which adds Sonar Smash, a sonar gun that has the ability to break LEGO sonar bricks.

The vehicle can then be rebuilt again as the LEGO Sonic Batray which adds a special attack in the form of a missile barrage. Players can fuse an upgraded vehicle to the LEGO Toy Tag, enabling them to take it and any new abilities with them to a friend’s game or wherever they’d like to play. Players can do this with every vehicle and every gadget from every pack.

Lego Dimensions will release for the PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One September 29^th.
