Disney Infinity might have been canned, but that doesn't mean toys-to-life is going anywhere soon. The talented team behind LEGO Dimensions have a lot of confidence in the future of their brand and have been talking to our chums at Eurogamer.net about plans for Second Year content.
Speaking to game director Jimmy McLoughlin, Eurogamer uncovered the following:
We're making the open worlds more advanced, as we have good solid game metrics that show people spend a lot of time in them. I think for season two, the minimum number of events in each world is 25, in season one it was 21. We're making them feel fuller, and allowing people to spend more time there.
The issue of DC Comics stars Green Arrow and Supergirl, which were only obtainable as figurines via events such as E3 and Comic-Con, was discussed. But don't worry, it seems you will be able to play as Green Arrow regardless:
We haven't given him anything that blocks anything - there are no gold bricks available. But he will be available digitally, eventually, through the Hire-a-Hero feature. Simply put - you'll be able to pay a small amount of studs to play as both.
It sounds like the same will be true of Supergirl further down the line also.
There are lots of other interesting tidbits in the interview with Eurogamer, so hop over there and fill your boots on all the lovely stuff coming to LEGO Dimensions soon.

SOLD.
I want it I want it I want it.
You had me at "Supergirl."
Season 2 seems so much better then one!
@CharlieSmile
After cancelling the Breath Of The Wild preorder, I saw that comment coming a mile away!
@Spoony_Tech Do you really think so? I kind of feel like b/c there is no season 2, only more DLC for one and only game, there isn't even a season 2 to compare to season 1, just continuing waves of toys. So no new main story, no new hub world, just add-ons, so I don't see how that can be viewed as better. It's nto like you can buy season 2 w/o getting season 1 first.
I do like the idea of the 4 player arena - it's the reason I bought it on Wii U now rather than wait until getting a PS4, though it sucks that it freezes the Wii U every hour, just like Lego Marvel did. But I don't see the addition of 4 player arena making a lot of people buy the game in 2017 who didn't buy it in 2016. An entirely new game might have done that more than new toys, even if Gremlins and Goonies are nice additions. The ET toy will not wind up in a landfill.
I do hope they make more of the older sets, some are hard to find.
Maybe if we liked Potter or Adventure Time we'd feel differently. A huge Sonic world might be nice, but that video barley showed us anything new, so I guess I'm not impressed yet.
Really cool video. How much does it cost to play this game in full? It's one game I won't let myself get interested in because I see this as a money making racket.
@rjejr Just to let you know Best Buy is having another one day Disney Infinity sale. Lots of figures less then 5$. Some packs of 3 are only 5$ as well.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE why don't you just get the things from the brands you like?
@Spoony_Tech Thanks, I'll see if the kids want to take a ride over after snack. I wonder if they regret making those 4 SW Rebels characters, I still don't know who they are.
Can't recall what ages your kids are but I took my 2 boys ages 11 and 13 today so see "Home" - aka Sheldon the space alien - and we all liked it. After it was over I thought what a cool DI world and toys it could make. I know it's Dreamworks and not Pixar, but it was really good, like Inside Out, only outside and w/ an alien.

Ugh, if I want the Green Arrow minifig I'd have to buy another LD starter pack. They should just release him and Supergirl as a Team pack.
all i know is that i saw the simpsons and adventure time im out
@rjejr 9, 7, and 4 next week.
Are you talking about the movie Home that's been out for like 2 years?? We own it actually and tbh I often like DreamWorks movies more then Pixar/Disney. And where did you take your kids to see it being that old?
@Spoony_Tech It looks like it's one of those summer movie night things Regal does, where movies from a couple years ago are playing for $1. Great if you missed a movie but still want to see it on the big screen.
@Spoony_Tech I gave you the link in the email.

W/ 3 kids that age I'm surprised somebody is taking your kids to those theaters already, lots of grandparents i the theaters. My kids and I have been going for years, we see 2-3 every summer. They used to be free, but inflation took care of that. But $1 is basically free as normal movies are around $13 by us.
@rjejr I totally didn't see that link. Plus I don't think we have anything like that around here. Guess I have to click that link to find out. The sad truth of it all though is we get those types of movies as soon as they hit digital availability on Vudu. For instance when the Angry Birds movie hits there we most likely will own it that very day which will be any day now. Same with Ratchet and Clank. Zootopia was Great btw!
Yep, we own 90% of that list and the rest is not for us anyways.
@Spoony_Tech I'm guessing Zootopia will be next years movie. Though my kids are kind of outgrowing it. And I really need to get a job and leave them home to fend for themselves.
