16 new entertainment properties are coming to LEGO Dimensions in its next expansion, including The Goonies, E.T., Sonic the Hedgehog, Gremlins and Beetlejuice.
The Ghostbusters Story Pack, Adventure Time and Mission: Impossible Level Packs, Harry Potter and Adventure Time Team Packs, and The A-Team Fun Pack will be available from September 27, 2016, while additional packs based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The LEGO Batman Movie, The Goonies, Sonic the Hedgehog, Teen Titans Go!, LEGO City Undercover, Knight Rider, The Powerpuff Girls, Gremlins, Beetlejuice and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial will be released "in product waves stretching into summer of next year."
All the new packs will work with the existing LEGO Dimensions toy pad.
The new expansion will also introduce Battle Arenas, which offer competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players. Minifigs included in wave 6-9 expansion packs will be bundled with 'golden Toy Tags' which unlock a Battle Arena in the Adventure World of the corresponding entertainment property. Each has four different modes and comes with its own special powers and environments.
