On Friday 18th November was launched in London the new Lego Dimensions wave 7.

A selected group of journalists was immersed in a secret location, in the presence of the Head of Design Arthur Parsons from TT Games, for an extreme mash-up in one epic journey across time and space with Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Gremlins, Adventure Time and Mission Impossible.

Developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, LEGO Dimensions is now available for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the Wii U™ system.

For the first time in any LEGO videogame, iconic entertainment brands and franchises converge in one thrilling adventure. In the game’s story, a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears and sweeps away characters from various LEGO worlds. To save their friends, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle bravely jump into the vortex and quickly find themselves on a journey through unexpected worlds, teaming up with unlikely allies on a quest to defeat the evil Lord Vortech.

“This is an entirely new LEGO experience where players can build the physical toys andplay with a mash-up of brands in the videogame just like they would in real life,” said Jon Burton, Founder and Creative Director, TT Games. “We wanted to create a game where players can combine their favorite characters and universes and play without restrictions. They can have Scooby-Doo pilot Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet through Cloud Cuckoo Land from The LEGO Movie if they want to. Literally every character can go into any world and use any vehicle or gadget.”

“LEGO Dimensions expands our LEGO videogame franchise with innovation, an amazing range of world-class entertainment properties and ever-growing gameplay designed for longevity,” said David Haddad, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Warner Bros.
