The Goonies, Harry Potter and LEGO City expansions announced for LEGO Dimensions

Hey, you guuuuys! Want some new LEGO Dimensions expansion packs? Want them to cover The Goonies, Harry Potter and LEGO City? Can you do the truffle shuffle? Sorted.

Popping along on May 12th 2017, LEGO Dimensions players will be treated to the joys of The Goonies, Harry Potter and LEGO City, with new expansion packs which cover all three franchises. The Goonies Level Pack, the Harry Potter Fun Pack and LEGO City Fun Pack will allow players to customise their experience even more, mixing and matching favourite characters and universes with full compatibility.

Additionally, the 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 completely unique to the world of the character used to unlock it and brings not just competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players, but four exciting gameplay modes including Capture the Flag, Objective, Base Bash, and Tick, Tag, Boom! to boot.

Pack descriptions as follows:

• 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.

If you’re a fan of The Goonies (check), Harry Potter (double check) or LEGO City (triple check), then you should be saving up a bit of cash and dropping it on these new packs the second you see them in stores. May 12th can’t come soon enough – if only so we can do the truffle shuffle once more!
