Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today revealed details
around three highly collectable new expansion packs for LEGO
Dimensions, the LEGO toy and videogame hybrid, that will be
available on May 9, 2017.
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. In addition,
LEGO minifigures included within each of these expansion packs
come with special golden Toy Tags which unlock a free play
Adventure World of the corresponding entertainment brand, as
well as a Battle Arena that can be reached through Vorton. Each
Battle Arena is unique to the world of the character used to
unlock it and features competitive split-screen local gameplay
for up to four players, with four exciting gameplay modes
including Capture the Flag, Objective, Base Bash, and Tick, Tag,
Boom!.
The Goonies Level Pack includes a complete level of The Goonies
gameplay where players can help 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 game play
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.
