Synopsis
Set six years after Lord Vortech's imprisonment,[1] the LEGO multiverse has fallen to pieces as the ten new Core Constructs that make up the foundations of the dimensions in the wake of their unstable connections have been scattered across the different regions, bringing with them a state of collapse as the worlds begin to shift around them. In this chaos emerges a dire force from a hack within the multiverse, Emperor Bricktor, who seeks to harness these Constructs to manipulate the dimensions into a singularity to cause a much greater end with an incursion. Although, with vile force comes challenge from the greater good, with three noble heroes being tasked by the multiverse's drifting re-purposed guardian ER-B to locate these Constructs, now stuck in the form of racing trophies, and bring them together before the process of the incursion is complete and a new universe begins.
Overview
The game will center on Emperor Bricktor becoming devout to restore the world that he ruled over after it was destroyed by an evil deity as a consequence from the damage caused by Lord Vortech, which cost him his wife and daughter in the destruction, with Bricktor searching the known LEGO multiverses for the many newly created Core Constructs, intending to use them to create a new world through the Broken Rift for him to rule over. The evil deity that destroyed Bricktor's world will emerge as the true main antagonist of the game and has been manipulating Bricktor and his unstable condition from the Broken Rift, poisoning and controlling him to collect the Core Constructs so he can use them to destroy all of the dimensions once Bricktor combines them into one by using the multiversal Determinant Engine, which is fueled by Broken Energy, to power his Bricktonian Core Spacecraft. Bricktor will be shown breaking down and having piercing headaches and split personalities to imply this deity's control over him during several levels, and the conditions worsen as the story progresses. Upon learning of Bricktor's plans, ER-B, the Guardian of the Multiverse who was re-purposed from scraps of Vorton, sets a new warrior along with a sage guide out on a quest to bring together several chosen heroes and villains from across the LEGO multiverse in a desperate attempt to save it from Bricktor's and the evil deity's conquest. ER-B was built by the new warrior and his guide to help locate the heroes and villains across the colliding dimensions, while the evil deity was previously an individual named Bob who found Vortech's remnants and it changed him into an increasingly unstable state of the multiverse's core and requires the hacked Bricktor to carry out his plot to contain the dimensions as one so he can reshape himself into a whole figment as one with the multiverse. Bob was initially set out by X-PO as the last hero to save the multiverse, but was corrupted by Vortech's remains, and has since been succeeded by the new warrior, who attempts not to follow in his path.

Content
Characters
The three main characters will be the protagonists of the film LEGO Dimensions: Crack in the Multiverse (2021), Max, Merlock, and Samirah, as they are aided by old and new allies from across the LEGO multiverse, particularly a custom character warrior and a wiser Twelfth Doctor, with the game serving as a follow-up to that film and LEGO Dimensions (2015) while bringing in the main character's origins. All of the characters from the prior games LEGO Dimensions and LEGO Dimensions: Mystify Mad Games (2020) will be playable in this game and unlocked over time, with the toy tags of the LEGO Minifigures from LEGO Dimensions able to be used as power-ups that can be applied to other characters in this game from those that have their bases through scanning them into the game using the Toy Pad from LEGO Dimensions.

Notes

Trivia
- The video game has a total of 240 franchises, with each one featuring a Red Brick. There is also a total of 70 levels in the game, 45 of which will be based on the campaign, while 25 of them will be extra levels unlocked similarly to how one unlocks an extra level in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (2013). Multiple amounts of franchises are featured in the different levels in the campaign and extras. There is an additional bonus franchise, The LEGO Dimensions Marathon Saga, included as well, which concludes the storyline that this game is a part of.
- This is the second LEGO video game in the reality where it exists to have an anime, a web series, Broadway musical, or fanon projects as a franchise. The first to do so is its predecessor, LEGO Dimensions: Mystify Mad Games (2020), which includes several of the franchises from this one in it.
- The video game was originally created by Trailblazer101 on June 7th, 2017, as an intended spiritual successor to LEGO Dimensions (2015) under his production company Imagination Studios (now Trail Blazer Studios), and continued under the same direction until October 27th, 2017, when Trail began condensing the franchise roster, which continued until February 4th, 2018, before it was transferred to its gaming subsidiary Nostalgic Games (now Fraction Interactive) upon its formation on February 20th, 2018, for further development. Trail had initially canceled the game by May 13th, 2018, so he could dedicate more time in working on his custom Year 3 and Year 4 for LEGO Dimensions. Two days later on May 15th, 2018, Trail canceled his television series The LEGO Dimensions Show to avoid competition with The LEGO Dimensions Movie at that time. However, on September 24th, 2019, Trail ultimately chose to revive the project after writing the origin for the main antagonist of the game, Emperor Bricktor, as part of the story for the collaborative project LEGO Megaverse, while new game elements such as the fighting, racing, and cards collectibles ones were picked for the game after Trail chose to abandon the Toys-to-Life aspect and all of the prior franchises and plot elements in favor of starting from scratch, and designed a new logo as well. Shortly after that, however, Trail chose to take Bricktor out of LEGO Megaverse in favor of re-using and expanding upon the origin that he had written for the character for LEGO Multiverse instead, preferring to work on this game rather than the collaborative one then to pursue his vision for the story. After Trail continued independent work on the non-Toys-to-Life sequel to LEGO Dimensions, LEGO Dimensions: Mystify Mad Games (2020), on July 30th, 2020, he began exploring connections between that games' storyline, set three years after the first game, with the storyline for this game (coincidentally releasing nearly 3 years after Mystify Mad Games) and the film LEGO Dimensions: Crack in the Multiverse (2021) that it continues from, while Trail also re-joined work on LEGO Megaverse to help with a new plot for it that remains standalone. Trail subsequentially established the games and film to connect with other LEGO video games, including LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (2013), LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (2014), LEGO Dimensions, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (2017), and LEGO DC Super-Villains (2018), and the film LEGO DC Super-Villains: Legion of the Monitor (2021). These connections prompted Trail to transfer LEGO Dimensions: Mystify Mad Games and LEGO Multiverse from long-time developer Fraction Interactive to Imagination Entertainment to be alongside the films for their shared franchise The LEGO Dimensions Marathon Saga.
- The character ER-B is named after the initialism for the Einstein–Rosen bridge (ERB), while it is also similar to that of X-PO from LEGO Dimensions (2015), which is where he takes up his role in the story from. Additionally, the Determinant Engine is named after the Jacobian matrix and determinant, which was used to solve the equations for the Einstein–Rosen bridges, while the Broken Rift originated from a LEGO Broken Rift video game idea that Trail had been working on in 2016 as a game similar to LEGO Dimensions but without the Toys-to-Life aspects, although the game wasn't pursued online. Emperor Bricktor, who was briefly called "Emperor Brickton", also originated from LEGO Broken Rift, which was Trail's main source of inspiration for the contents of this game, thus making LEGO Multiverse a spiritual successor to the undeveloped game.
