Here's the official PR:
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO® Group today announced the expansion of LEGO® DIMENSIONS, the LEGO toy and videogame hybrid, with more blockbuster franchises and even bigger gameplay possibilities. New expansion packs broaden the complete selection to 30 of the world's most popular entertainment brands allowing players to customize their experience by mixing and matching favorite characters and universes with full compatibility. Game features adding to the fun are all-new, four-player competitive Battle Arenas, a first for LEGO videogames, as well as Story Packs, which provide deep, story-driven gameplay around the biggest theatrical releases and include a fresh LEGO brick building experience.
LEGO Dimensions packs based on 16 new entertainment properties will begin launching on September 27, 2016 with the Ghostbusters Story Pack, Adventure Time and Mission: Impossible Level Packs, Harry Potter and Adventure Time Team Packs, and The A-Team Fun Pack. Additional expansion packs based on other highly anticipated films Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The LEGO® Batman Movie and wildly popular properties 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 expansion packs provide players with continued compatibility to use everything from waves 1-9 interchangeably, anywhere throughout the game. And no new starter pack is required, as all new packs will simply enhance the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack game and work with the existing LEGO Toy Pad.
All-new Battle Arenas will offer first-to-LEGO videogames competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players. LEGO minifigures included in the wave 6 through 9 expansion packs will come with special, golden Toy Tags which unlock a Battle Arena within the Free Play Adventure World of the corresponding entertainment brand. Each Battle Arena has four different gameplay modes and comes with its own traps, special powers and interactive environments that make every battle arena unique.
The Ghostbusters Story Pack, based on the upcoming film, will provide a complete movie-based gameplay experience with six puzzle-packed levels and new LEGO Gateway bricks that allow players to build Zhu's Chinese Restaurant atop the LEGO Toy Pad. It will also come with a buildable Abby Yates LEGO minifigure with Proton Blaster and 3-in-1 buildable Ecto-1 which can be rebuilt into the Ectozer and The PerfEcto. The pack unlocks "Rip," a new Toy Pad mode allowing players to tear open an alternate universe. In this mirror world, players have the ability to solve puzzles and affect objects and other items in the primary universe. And like all gold-tag minifigures purchased, Abby Yates provides access to a new themed Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena. The Ghostbusters Story Pack is just the first of this new exciting pack type, with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, based on the highly anticipated theatrical release, still to come later this year. The LEGO DIMENSIONS packs will be the exclusive construction toy offering this holiday for the exciting expansion of J.K Rowling's Wizarding World.
Story Packs also expand the Starter Pack story with deeper gameplay. In the game's storyline, the evil Lord Vortech has hidden portions of his powers around the LEGO Multiverse. As players progress through Story Pack levels, they can unearth and tap into Keystone Runes to use Lord Vortech's powers against him through all-new Toy Pad modes.

Wait... ET?
Hello there, Great Video Game Crash Of 2016!
Also, bummed for Lego Sonic not being a thing... yet.
Sonic the Hedgehog is at the end of the trailer watch 1:23 in
MUST GET SONIC
Didn't see Lego city Undercover coming, nice.
Wow, I'm not an active player of Lego Dimensions but that is a monster announcement for them!
"LEGO® City Undercover"? Interesting...
@Damo See, no "2" anywhere in site.
Glad to see the Wii U at the end. Didn't expect NX anyway. I'm still waiting on my PS4 purchase.
Here's some leaked box art if anybody is interested. It's from 10 hours ago but it seems legit enough to me to be viewed as "leaked" rather than rumour.
http://brick-inquirer.com/2016/06/08/retailer-begins-to-list-lego-dimensions-series-2-year-2-packs-spoilers-ahead/
I'm interested in about half of these, same as the original set, but it does give me an excuse to link to this Teen Titan's Go clip again. Man I hope it makes it in. Cyborgumus Prime!

@Captain_Gonru Time to indulge again.
@Darunic A-Team confirmed.
Sign me up for a 3rd of those. I called ET btw lol
Can I put my vote in for both the Adams Family and more my favorite The Munsters!! Please!!
Oh man I just thought of more good ones Lost in Space, Star Trek, Alf, and I would love The Honeymooners but that won't happen lol. I'm just going to keep adding more to this post as I can remember then.
The Flintstones would be day one for me lol! I'm enjoying this too much....😀
@Captain_Gonru Well nobody can hate the Goonies, that's just frikkin impossible. Gremlins and Beetlejuice are pretty loveable as well.

Looking forward to my Winona Ryder Lego figure.
Man there are some cool ones. Gremlins? Yes please! Sucks the Ghostbuster story seems to be about the new movie and team though. Not real interested in that yet.
I pitty the fool who doesn't buy the mr. T lego figure, it has a Mohawk and the van!!!!
I thought Nintendo would have had some say over the Lego Undercover City since they published it. So it's kinda surprising to see it in a multiplatform game.
Could there be a better thing in the world than tiny Lego Mr. T? I think not.
My oldest son has Dimensions. I wouldn't say it's the best game but it's a great buy for us because everything is normal lego pieces. All you need for the game is the base which each figure detaches from. They usually play the game until they're bored with it then the legos get added into their lego collection for normal lego play unlike Disney Infinity, Skylanders, and Amiibos.
Yes! Teen Titans! reads on No! Teen Titans Go...
yay Sonic ! now where Mario or any Nintendo Characters for that matter?
WANT!!!!
Can we have the Dark Crystal..? I would love a Lego Skeksis or Gelfling. Also that movie was DARK.
It's a veritable pop culture party!
I pity da fool that don't buy the A-Team.
@NinjaAceTrainer that one was pretty much confirmed in a rumor a while back. hopefully The Powerpuff Girls isn't the reboot version.
@AlexSora89 but it is a thing they announced it coming to year 2.
Sonic's being added? I'm in!
How the duck next.
Hmm...I may have to consider LEGO Dimensions after this. I can't resist some good Harry Potter and LEGO City!
Lego Dimensions always has so many adult-targeted nostalgia franchises. I love it hahahaha
This does feel like one of the most surreal crossovers ever
@rjejr
Here is your Lego City Undercover at a slightly more affordable price. I wanted to see a full fledged sequel, though.
I still need to get the Scooby Doo one.
Now all we need is Disney packs if it weren't for the obvious legal minefield. If I had the money and this game I would likely get Portal, Sonic,The Midway pack
Glad Sonic made it in!
This was sort of leaked months ago, actually, before the game was even out.
http://brick-inquirer.com/2015/09/21/report-harry-potter-and-other-franchises-leaked-for-lego-dimensions-2/
But, with all the rumours and general trolling it's getting harder to spot the real leaks. Nice to have some confirmation, excepting the consequence that drains bank accounts.
@StitchScout
The comment was rushed, but still accurate - now that I've seen the video, I want the minifig to come out!
GUYS! HELP! I am having a very hard time resisting giving them my money! Please help!
@rjejr Do you think that support for the PS3 is coming to an end? That was another option I was pondering in order to miss the general skimping on Wii U Lego (and other) dlc. It wouldn't be worth it if newer games are also going to miss PS3. I should be okay with PC for everything except Dimensions, but I can't help wishing.
Lego Finn is beautiful, I haven't purchased Lego anything for years but he really tempts me to just because it is something I didn't really see happening by now. Also it's awesome to see the Blue Blur in Lego form too!
@FragRed I'm sure Nintendo holds the publishing right to the game and lego hold the rights to the characters and so on... also known as the Bayonetta 2 situation.
@Sakura The game has been out for almost a year, don't you mean the year 2 packs?
Just started watching Adventure Time so I can hopefully be in to it by the time this releases.
I'm hooked from the first episode
@Thatguywhoeats The linked article was written on 21 September 2015. Somebody had found details of these new packs way back then. They were remarkably accurate.
http://brick-inquirer.com/2015/09/21/report-harry-potter-and-other-franchises-leaked-for-lego-dimensions-2/
Now I have to get this game. Getting Sonic of course, but damn do the others look tempting... I was originally interested by the inclusion of The Simpsons, Back to the Future, and (original) Ghostbusters, but I had no idea the game would grow like this.
Not sure I'll pick up too many at launch, but the following look very good to me. Might grab more as they go on sale.
Lego City Undercover
Mission: Impossible
The Lego Batman Movie
Harry Potter
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
@sinalefa LCU wasn't lost on me. The way Nintedo is going with their prices it might be cheaper for me to pick up both the starter pack and the set for less than LCU. Tough we'll see what the sales bring next week. Could be time to download. Finally.
@Sakura I forgot this even had PS3 support, which is funny b/c that's the console we still game on the most. I think they'll keep supporting PS3 though, and 1 for simple reason, 80 million PS3 vs 13.5 million Wii U. That's a big difference in install base.
If you want a reason to be worried though, the new Destiny expansion is apparently skipping last gen PS3/Xbox360.

Won't be long before Lego starts licensing DIsney IPs to start making those packs. When that happens that will be a slap in the face for Disney Infinity.
Really want to start getting these, but I just don't have the budget for them with all the other stuff I want to get. Looks really cool though with all these announced expansions.
As if I didn't have enough reasons to get this game already... and I never realized how badly I needed Lego Mr. T in my life.
Hmm, a Wii U exclusive being in a multiplatform game. Does this mean LCU is coming to other platforms like Sonic Lost World?
Cool! Lots of great IPs coming. They're just too dang expensive to collect!
Dammit, must get the lot.
Uh oh. I might have to start getting into this.
Finally E.T. will return to his rightful place as a god-icon in video games.
Also, i never knew how much i needed a LEGO Mr. T in my life until right now.
@Spoony_Tech
I've got a leak for ya:
It's THING! Coming soon to LEGO Dimensions. But seriously, an Addams Family set would be awesome.
Darn it Lego. Some of those I'd want and I was trying not to get a toys to life game.
Now this is how you do toys to life!! Makes all the others seem dull in comparison (which they are)
@Whopper744 they already have a classic Ghostbusters one now, with a mish mash of the two movies.
Hate the fact that the new Ghostbusters is getting the bigger pack then some far more deserving. Oh well, guess they trying to sell that movie.....
@EJzelda Hey at least that movie that takes place in the Harry Potter universe is getting a story pack too.
@Thatguywhoeats Lucky for fans of that, I'm not really a Potter fan either. Ohh well, guess my luck is not with these ones.
@rjejr Thanks. It makes sense that general support would be ending. I should probably stick with PC for now. I do wish Wii U had been better supported. Come on, NX!
hell yeah, a-team!!
