LEGO Worlds Drops Feb 21, 2017
When Minecraft was first released it was latched onto by creative gamers everywhere like no game before it. For those who didn’t understand it they often summed it up by saying, “So it’s basically like a LEGO video game. You just build stuff right?”. The return response was often a simple ‘Yeah, that’s it’ as gamers would rather play than sum up all the nuances of what the game was. Still, there’s no denying that this world of creativity was in some small way inspired by the world’s most popular building toy, LEGO. Now, after spending a healthy time in Early Access, LEGO Worlds is prepping to launch on PC and consoles and is surely looking to win over some of the legions of Minecraft fans… if only for the sheer number of revenue alone.
On Feb 21, 2017, LEGO Worlds will release to Steam, Xbox One, and PS4. A galaxy of imaginative worlds made entirely of digital LEGO bricks where players can explore, discover and create together. Players will go on an exciting journey to become a Master Builder, in an open-world made completely of LEGO-built environments. Whether customizing characters, exploring in vehicles, building structures, or discovering an expansive range of items, characters, and creatures throughout the worlds, there’s the freedom to create anything imaginable.
In LEGO Worlds, players uncover hidden treasures in environments that range from fun to the fantastical, where worlds come to life with a dizzying variety of vehicles and creatures – from cowboys riding giraffes to vampires scaring Yetis, to steamrollers, racing cars and colossal digging machines. Gamers can embark on a quest to become a Master Builder by helping other LEGO characters along the way – find a sword for a king, protect a farmer from a zombie invasion, or build a home for a caveman. Environments and creations are brought to life in any way fans can imagine, either by building brick by brick, placing down enormous prebuilt LEGO structures or by using wondrous tools that let you paint and shape the landscape. LEGO Worlds’ online multiplayer functionality allows players to explore each other’s worlds together, create together, and engage in cooperative and competitive play experiences that players can build themselves.
A separate LEGO Agents DLC pack, featuring new characters, vehicles, weapons and more from the Agents range of play materials, will be available exclusively on PlayStation 4 for a limited time.
