Flying vehicles, using exciting gadgets, and defeating bosses will be part of the adventure. For players hoping to get a new Character Creator item, the Lightyear DLC will include new content for those looking to redress their characters. The pack isn’t available on Nintendo Switch but will arrive “soon” according to the developers.
