Lego Dimensions will receive several new franchise packs in November, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Fantastic Beasts, Gremlins, Adventure Time and more.
Lego Dimensions’ Wave 6 is approaching fast, marking the start of the popular toy-to-life game’s second year of new content. Despite the fact that Wave 6 will land on September 27, Warner Bros. is ready to move on to Wave 7. The reveal of Wave 7 expansion packs for Lego Dimensions were very recent, and it featured the previously announced Sonic the Hedgehog, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Six new packs in total, available starting from November 18.
Here is a list of what Wave 7 will offer, considering it has a larger variety of expansion packs that each offer a different kind of content:
– Story Pack($49.99) – Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Magical Congress LEGO Gateway set, Newt Scamander figure…
– Level Pack($29.99) – Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic figure…
– Team Pack($24.99) – Gremlins, Gizmo figure, Stripe figure…
– Fun Pack($11.99) – Adventure Time – Marceline figure…
The headline for Wave 7 is the Harry Potter spin-off movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is set in a wizard world of the USA rather than England. Sonic and the Gremlins are taking supporting roles in this wave. E.T. only gets a Fun Pack, and it’s a bit overshadowed by far more popular supplementary packs for Adventure Time and Fantastic Beasts.
If we take the Lego Dimensions’ big holiday retail push into consideration, it’s really no surprise that we see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them featured so acutely. The Harry Potter movies had a major success, so the spin-off is guaranteed to be a huge holiday hit. With that being said, it’s not at all a coincidence that the Lego sets come out the same day as the movie, so there will be a lot of gamers excited by the release
Supporting packs for Wave 7 are a bit surprising, though, Sonic the Hedgehog maintains a certain popularity but isn’t exactly surging right now, and both Gremlins and E.T. will most likely have trouble hitting it off with a generation that’s very likely to have never seen the movies. Nonetheless, Lego Dimensions seems to have managed to find success in odd places with toy releases up until now. Who knows what will find a home on the platform next.
Lego Dimensions currently is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U.
