Nothing can stop the Lego juggernaut; every year sees the release of one, maybe even two, of these kid-friendly collectathons, and every year they sell by the (Lego) bucket-load. This summer's upcoming installment will likely sell even more, mixing as it does the irresistible lure of Lego with the franchise to end all franchises: Star Wars.
We've had Lego games based on George Lucas' Galaxy Far, Far Away before, but this will be the first based on the new trilogy. As such, the game will allow players to revisit key locations from The Force Awakens, as well as relive some of the film's most explosive set-pieces. Of course, one film doesn't provide much content for an entire game, but developers Traveler's Tales are plugging the gaps with some original new levels that pre-date the events of the film.
If the footage is any indication, this will also be one of the most diverse Lego games in recent memory, adding cover-shooter mechanics, an increased focus on building objects, including enemies that can use the Lego bricks on the battlefield to build their own gadgets, and epic space battles to the usual mix of bashing, building and light puzzle-solving.
Scope out the footage for yourself below.
