Even more franchises have been announced for Lego Dimensions Season 2, the free update to the base game that’ll enable compatibility with toys released this fall and beyond.
Those who want a little more Batman will be happy to hear there are two packs based on the upcoming Lego Batman Movie on the way; one Story Pack that includes minifigs of Batgirl and Robin plus a whole lot of pieces to redesign the portal base, and a smaller Fun Pack with Batman wearing armor and brandishing a sword. Really.
Fans of the incredibly ’80s TV show Knight Rider will also be able to pick up a Fun Pack featuring talking car K.I.T.T. and a minifig David Hasselhoff/Michael Knight, because Lego Dimensions is the cross-over to end all cross-overs.
