'Lego Dimensions' Wave 2 Adds Doctor Who World And Hire-able Minifigures

This article is more than 8 years old.

Wave 2 of Lego Dimensions not only opens the doors of the Doctor Who open world, but also adds the option of playing characters without owning the physical mini-figure.

This comprises five packs based on Doctor Who, Ninjago, The Simpsons, and The LEGO Movie. These enable players to expand game-play with Level,  Team and Fun Packs.

The Fun and Team packs unlock characters and the open world for each related brand. The Level packs provide an additional level for the main adventure.

Along with these Warner have announced a new feature called “Hire-a-Hero” that enables you to try out Wave 1 expansion pack characters by spending studs collected in the game. Wave 2 characters coming soon it seems.

This is a welcome addition as it enables access to locked off areas without having to purchase all the physical mini-figures -- albeit in temporary fashion.

The big news of Wave 2 is the open up of the Doctor Who level and open world in the game. The new challenge is titled “The Dalek Extermination of Earth” and tasks the Doctor with preventing the Daleks from taking over London by traveling through time and space and even to the furthest extents of the galaxy.

This brings the full set of adventure worlds to the following:

Along with the TARDIS, he is able to navigate the passageways of time and space to solve mysteries and avert hostile alien invasions. Players can activate the Doctor’s special Hacking, Technology, Fix-it and Doctor Regenerate option to help him solve in-game puzzles and defeat menacing enemies. The TARDIS and K-9 models can each be physically built and then rebuilt twice to do entirely different things in the digital game for massive variety.

The new Ninjago characters are also of note. Kai and Cole provide Ninja weapons and Spinjitzu skills. As usual you can rebuild Cole’s Builder Bomber in three ways (into a Boulder Blaster and Cyclone Jet) as you can Kai’s Blade Bike (into a Flying a Fire Bike and Blades of Fire vehicle).

Other packs in wave 2 provide Bart, Uni-kitty and Krusty that expands on the Simpsons line-up:

The full list of Wave 2 packs is as follows:

LEGO Dimensions is out now for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4,  PlayStation 3 and Wii U.
