Warner Bros Interactive’s Lego Dimensions series successfully fused several unconnected famous properties into a well received toys to life last year. Now, the publisher is bringing one of gaming’s fastest mammals, a few 1980’s cultural icons and a shapeshifting dog from an apocalyptic future with the upcoming Wave 7.

Here is a small sampling of what WBIE plans to include in each of the Wave 7 playsets:
Sonic: The Hedgehog will include that series’ classic gameplay mechanics complete with blazing speeds. Players will be able to race through environments inspired by Greenhill Zone, Emerald Coast and others. Gameplay mechanics borrowed from the main Sonic titles include the ability to grind on rails (ala Sonic Adventure 2).
Musing muggles will be able to explore a slice of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter franchise with the Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them playset. Based on the upcoming Warner Bros produced film this set includes access to six individual levels as Newt Scamander helps build the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA).

As someone who doesn’t use my PC for gaming, Humble Bundle has been pretty useless for me for the most part. Most of the bundles that I’ve seen have been for Steam keys, which I can’t use. Though recently I took advantage of the “Friends of Nintendo” bundle which allowed me to get eShop codes for a bunch of games.
Now Archie Comics is getting on board to make digital versions of their Sonic the Hedgehog comics available.
In celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog‘s 25th Anniversary, Humble Bundle and Archie Comics are offering up a big digital collection of Sonic the Hedgehog comics! The Humble Comics Bundle: Sonic the Hedgehog features hundreds of pages of action-packed excitement from the longest-running video game comic book in history.Read More
