Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games Announce LEGO(R) Battles
Wednesday February 4, 9:00 am ET
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to Publish New LEGO Game for Nintendo DS
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and
TT Games are teaming up with The LEGO Group to deliver LEGO(R) Battles for
Nintendo DS(TM), a videogame based on classic play scenarios in evergreen
themes that include LEGO Castle, LEGO Pirates and LEGO Space. Produced by TT
Games, developed by Hellbent Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment, LEGO(R) Battles pulls three LEGO themes together to create a
unique extension of the LEGO build-and-play experience that stays true to the
customization and humor that are the foundation of LEGO videogames. The game is
scheduled to be available this summer.
LEGO(R) Battles offers a new kind of “build and battle” LEGO gameplay. Through
six distinct story lines, players build their own LEGO bases and battle teams as
they engage in over 70 different levels, mixing and matching units to create the
ultimate customized LEGO squad. These unique LEGO battles teams see pirate
swordsmen fighting side-by-side with wizards and aliens; dragons battling
ninjas; and pirate ships launching broadsides against spacecraft and knights!
Players can also challenge friends on the battlefield in multiplayer mode
through wireless DS multi-card play.
“LEGO(R) Battles offers players the action-packed and humor-filled gameplay that
make LEGO games great, along with the added bonus of linked multiplayer battles
on DS,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “We are excited
to introduce a new LEGO videogame experience to fans and young gamers and look
forward to expanding upon the beloved toy lines.”
