LEGO Dimensions is about to go all dark knight on gamers.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced on Monday details about three new Batman-themed expansion packs that will be released in 2017. This includes The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack, Excalibur Batman Fun Pack and Knight Rider Fun Pack, which will add more characters, vehicles and universes to the ever-expanding world of LEGO Dimensions.
Based on the next film starring Ben Affleck, The LEGO Batman Movie pack will feature six new story-driven levels that are packed with puzzles.
This pack includes Batgirl and Robin mini figures. Batgirl brings with her her batarang, with glide and stealth abilities so that she can bypass security in high-alert areas, whereas Robin has impressive diving skills. He can also transform into Nightwing, taking on his moves and abilities.
These two characters give the player access to the new The LEGO Batman Movie Adventure World, which has its own Battle Arena where up to four players can compete.
Vehicle-wise, this expansion pack comes with the 3-in-1 buildable Batwing, which can then be rebuilt into the Black Thunder and Bat-Tank for cruising around the world. Players will also have additional LEGO Gateway bricks so that they can build a Bat-Computer onto of the LEGO Toy Pad.
That isn't the only Batman pack coming to Dimensions. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is also releasing the Excalibur Batman Fun Pack that will first be released at Target.
This pack will also give the gamer access to The LEGO Batman Movie Adventure World and Battle Arena, but instead comes with a buildable Batman miniature and a 3-in-1 buildable Bionic Steed. The Bionic Steed can then be rebuilt into the Bat-Raptor or Ultrabat to provide even more gameplay abilities.
While that pack is based on the upcoming movie, this next expansion pack is all about another kind of knight. Based on the iconic TV series from the '80s, the Knight Rider Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions comes with a buildable Michael Knight minifigure and a rebuildable 3-in-1 K.I.T.T. that can then be rebuilt into the K.I.T.T. Jet and Goliath Armored Semi for upgraded in-game powers.
This pack also has the gamer solving puzzles, as Michael Knight is tasked with taking down enemies, hacking terminals and using his Wrist Watch to uncover secrets. Hop into the K.I.T.T. robotic vehicle and also fight crime that way.
The Michael Knight figure unlocks the new Knight Rider Adventure World with its own Battle Arena.
Knight Rider fans looking to pick this pack up can do so first when it's released to GameStop before being available elsewhere.
These are only a few of the many expansion packs lined up for LEGO Dimensions for next year. Those looking for more content can pick up The Ghostbusters Story Pack on Sept. 30, or the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Story Pack and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Fun Pack and Gremlins packs on Nov. 18.
The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack, Excalibur Batman Fun Pack and Knight Rider Fun Pack will all be released on Feb. 10, 2017.
LEGO Dimensions is available for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the Wii U.
