THe “Toys to Life” category that the Skylanders series more or less invented is going to be awfully crowded this holiday season, and newcomers such as Warner Bros. LEGO Dimensions is going to give them all a run for their money.
For those who are interested in the story aspect of LEGO Dimensions and how the game will tie together multiple characters and worlds, WB sent over a freshly assembled new story trailer. It looks pretty damn fun as you would expect from a LEGO release.
Official Story Trailer: Worlds Collide in LEGO Dimensions:
LEGO Dimensions launches on September 27th, 2015 for pretty much all platforms.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today released the story trailer for LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay.

In the game, there is an ancient planet at the center of the LEGO Multiverse inhabited by an evil mastermind, Lord Vortech. It is said that he who controls the Foundational Elements that this planet is built upon, controls all of the Multiverse. Lord Vortech has vowed to be that ruler, summoning characters from a variety of LEGO worlds to help him find these building bricks of LEGO civilization. Some have agreed, others have rebelled, and only the combined powers of the greatest LEGO heroes can stop him.
When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and The LEGO Movie are swept away. To save their friends, LEGO Batman, LEGO Gandalf and LEGO Wyldstyle journey to locations beyond their wildest imaginations, and they soon realize that Lord Vortech is summoning villains from across different LEGO worlds to help him gain control.
