Warner Bros has confirmed that its next Lego video game will be called Lego Dimensions and allow players to place real minifigs and blocks onto a special sensor pad so that they appear in the onscreen action.
Abstract: “When kids play with Lego bricks, they build beyond the singular brands, intermixing all of their favourite characters and universes, and we have come up with a way for players to experience that in games,” said Jon Burton, creative director of developer, TT Games, in a press release. “Now for the first time in a videogame, Lego fans can play in the virtual world and in the real world – combining everything without restrictions.”
