A look at LEGO Dimensions’ The Simpsons, Midway Arcade levels

We’ll be honest, it’s getting more and more difficult to keep track of all the various properties, figures and worlds that Warner Bros. has somehow worked into the upcoming release of LEGO Dimensions.

Between the content included in the Starter Pack and the add-ons, which include Fun Packs, Level Packs, Team Packs and more, there’s a lot to look forward to (and spend money on). They released a little infographic which tries to organize the releases, as you can see below.

The latest levels that we are finally getting a good look at are from The Simpsons and Midway Arcade. Even in the starter pack, players will get a little cel-shaded cartoon Springfield to explore along with a world built around Midway’s retro arcade games which include Gauntlet, Defender, Robotron and others.

Browse through the latest gallery of shots below and stay tuned for the September 27th LEGO Dimensions release.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today revealed screenshots showcasing The Simpsons and Midway Arcade gameplay for LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay. Both The Simpsons and Midway Arcade levels are part of the LEGO Dimensions main game that can be played through in the Starter Pack.

The Simpsons Level within the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack incorporates a cel-shaded art style, for a look that is true to the original, animated series and unique from the other levels within the game. Players will face an unlikely pair of evil masterminds in The Simpsons Level ? Lord Business and The Joker ? who have joined Lord Vortech’s legion of villains and invaded Springfield. It is up to our heroes to defeat them and restore order in The Simpsons world. For fans of The Simpsons that want to customize their LEGO Dimensions experience, a The Simpsons Level Pack which includes a LEGO Homer Simpson minifigure and The Simpsons Fun Packs which include a LEGO Bart Simpson minifigure and a LEGO Krusty the Clown minifigure were also announced. All of the characters, vehicles or gadgets from any of these expansion packs can be combined with any other characters, vehicles and gadgets that exist throughout the game, and can be played in any level, with any other entertainment property. Imagine the fun of Bart Simpson riding a Velociraptor in Metropolis.

In the Midway Arcade Level within the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle find themselves in a videogame, where they must race in Super Sprint, smash their way through hordes of enemies in Gauntlet, save astronauts in Defender, and defeat robots in Robotron.  For retro gamer fans, there will be a Midway Arcade Gamer Level Pack with a LEGO Retro Gamer minifigure, and an entire level with more than 20 arcade games to beat.

Launching September 27, 2015, LEGO Dimensions will be available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems and the Wii U system from Nintendo.
