LEGO Dimensions Wave 8 Pack Launch
May 9, in the year of our Lord 2017 --
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced today the
release of three new expansion packs for LEGO Dimensions, the
LEGO toy and videogame hybrid. The Goonies Level Pack, the Harry
Potter Fun Pack and LEGO City Fun Pack will broaden the
selection of the world’s most popular entertainment brands
available for the game, allowing players to customize their
experience by mixing and matching favorite characters and
universes with full compatibility. LEGO minifigures included in
the expansion packs come with special, golden Toy Tags which
unlock a Battle Arena within the Free Play Adventure World of
the corresponding entertainment brand. Each Battle Arena has
four different gameplay modes and comes with its own traps,
special powers and interactive environments that make every
battle arena unique.
The Goonies Level Pack includes a complete level of The Goonies
gameplay where fans can play through the story of the iconic
‘80s film, helping Sloth and Chunk escape the Fratelli hideout
and join the rest of the Goonies on their search for One Eyed
Willy’s treasure. Players can use Sloth’s Super Strength to
smash through walls or play as Chunk and use his infamous
Truffle Shuffle. The rebuildable One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship
will sail on water and can also be built into the Fanged Fortune
and the Inferno Cannon; while the rebuildable Skeleton Organ has
Sonar Smash abilities and can also be built into the Skeleton
Jukebox and Skele-Turkey for added gameplay capabilities. Sloth
provides access to a new The Goonies Battle Arena, and also the
Adventure World where players can explore Mikey’s House, Inferno
Cove and the Goon Docks. Once the level is complete, players
will be able to replay through the game and other levels as any
of the seven other Goonies characters to solve additional
puzzles and access more collectibles in their journey through
the LEGO multiverse.
Players can extend their wizarding adventures in LEGO Dimensions
with the Harry Potter Fun Pack which includes a Hermione Granger
LEGO minifigure. She can cast magical spells such as Wingardium
Leviosa to levitate objects and Lumos to light up dark places.
She also allows players to unlock the Harry Potter Battle Arena
for a competitive match, along with the Adventure World where
they can explore locations in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and Diagon
Alley. Players can build the 3-in-1 rideable Buckbeak the
Hippogriff and use its Stomp Attack to smash Silver LEGO bricks,
then rebuild it into the Giant Owl and the Fierce Falcon for
additional in-game abilities.
Players can help stop crime in the LEGO Dimensions multiverse
with the LEGO City Fun Pack featuring a Chase McCain LEGO
minifigure. Chase can become a Miner to break Silver LEGO bricks
or a Fireman to use his Water Beam to put out fires. Gamers can
use his LEGO City Detective Scanner to track down bad guys and
change his disguise to unlock more abilities. In the LEGO City
Adventure World, there are new areas to explore like Blackwell’s
moon base and the LEGO City Police Department. Players can also
compete with up to three of their friends in the LEGO City
Battle Arena. Additionally, Chase’s 3-in-1 Police Helicopter can
be built to fire off bolts, then rebuild it into the Police
Hovercraft and Police Plane for additional in-game abilities.
