LEGO Dimensions Season 2 – Everything you need to know

Lego Dimensions saw Warner Bros. and Traveller’s Tales jump into the bustling toys-to-life market in spectacular style last year. It brought with it a much needed dose of nostalgia by adapting the likes of Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings into adorable Lego minifigures going on their own dimension-hopping adventures.

It proved to be a massive success, too, so much so that Season 2 is on the way later this year with a host of new figures to build and experiences to play.

We’ve compiled everything you need to know about Lego Dimensions Season 2, and will update as new information pops up so be sure to bookmark this page for new information.

Lego Dimensions Season 2 Packs – What do I get?

The abundance of varied playsets when you first step foot into Lego Dimensions can be daunting, especially if you’re unsure whether or not a certain pack is for you.

We’ve put together brief descriptions for the four different types of packs on offer, including the newly announced Starter Pack featuring Supergirl.

Starter Pack: To play Lego Dimensions you will need to have purchased the Starter Pack, which will get you the game, the gateway (platform which you put the figures on) and the following minifigures: Batman, Gandalf and WyldStyle. Oh, and you also get the Batmobile.

Keep in mind that Supergirl is exclusive to the S2 starter pack, and as far as we know, won’t be sold separately.

Fun Packs: These normally include a single minifigure alongside a vehicle or gadget. If it happens to be your first figure in a particular set – such as Doctor Who – it will also unlock their respective universe. You can normally find these for £12.99 in most retailers.

Team Packs: Unlike fun packs, these include two minifigures. You once again get a vehicle and/or gadget, depending on the pack. Much like the other packs, these can be used to unlock specific dimensions.  Team packs will cost you around £24.99.

Level Packs: These include a minifigure, gadget and vehicle. In addition, they also give you access to a story-based level and other extra missions. Once again, you’ll unlock previously unvisited dimensions. Level packs retail for roughly £24.99 or less depending on where you look.

Lego Dimensions is introducing an all new bundle known as Story Packs, intended as a fully-fledged adventure based on a single property. These include a minifigure, vehicle and new design for the dimensional gateway.

Each story pack delivers a unique mini-campaign of its very own, as well as giving the dimensional portal some new abilities, five of which can be found in the original game.

The first pack from season two is based on the new Ghostbusters movie, featuring all four of the new characters with their own skills and abilities. It appears the whole film will be playable across five stages, crammed with dialogue pulled directly from the film.

Other story packs announced for season 2 include Harry Potter: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Lego Batman Movie.

Lego Dimensions Season Two Gameplay – How does it play?

The second season will maintain the fun, accessible gameplay formula of Lego games. It’s all about collecting, building and exploring, except now you have more control than ever over the worlds and characters you come across.

Characters and vehicles are entered into the world of Lego Dimensions by placing them on the USB portal, with each piece possessing unique abilities that can be used to solve puzzles and reach new areas. Additional levels and characters can be purchased and spliced into the main game, letting you mix and match different franchises however you see fit.

As with the first season, all new properties will have their own free roaming worlds to explore. Traveller’s Tales is also introducing a couple of new modes, one of which is known as Battle Arena.

Battle Arena, exclusive to Season Two content, drops you and three other players into an Adventure World where you must compete in a variety of different objective-based modes.

Lego titles have always embraced local multiplayer, but never have we seen it used in a competitive context. This should prove to be a light yet interesting approach to a tried-and-true formula.
