And across nine different movies, 20 different planets and roughly 400 characters, TT Games has done its utmost to bring the tired LEGO video game formula kicking and screaming into the 2020s – for better and worse. Three years later, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has finally arrived. What followed was unprecedented: multiple delays, a pandemic and huge staff turnover at a studio reportedly plagued by crunch, all boiling over into fan frustration and – to TT’s delight, no doubt – potentially the most hype ever generated for a single LEGO video game. And in doing so, it promised to once again pick up its axe and start digging. The following summer – and with the disappointing and now mostly-forgotten The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame sandwiched in-between – TT announced LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The original formula was mined into oblivion, with only minor tweaks along the way – so that by the time LEGO DC Super-Villains rolled around in 2018, it was hard not to feel like we weren’t somehow still stuck in 2005, perpetually playing the same game with only a different skin, like some terrible Groundhog Day spin-off. TT swung its pickaxe, and struck oil.īut for the decade and a half (and countless games) that followed, the studio effectively downed tools and stopped digging, content with the bounties it had discovered at the first time of asking. Revolutionary at the time, that carefully-crafted assembly of the prequel trilogy in virtual bricks was hailed upon release as not just the best LEGO video game to date, but also one of the best Star Wars games of all time. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 5th, 2022.In 2005, TT Games did the same thing (on an admittedly much smaller scale) for the LEGO video gaming space with LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. You will get to pilot iconic ships such as the Millennium Falcon, and once you descend keep a lookout for side quests on each planet that will lead you to anything from criminals in the area to womp rats. This is Star Wars, so you bet the fighting will not remain on the ground, so the game also has mechanics that will take fights into space as you take on enemy ships and travel through space. Players will also have access to the Force to influence others, or use it as an attack or simply lift objects. You will have the option of a blaster, or you can wield a lightsaber. These masteries include counterattacks specific to each of the iconic characters, as well as fighting styles depending on the weapon you choose. Players will be able to gain mastery as they battle enemies. This won’t just be another playthrough of the Lego Star Wars games either as the studio has also implemented new battle mechanics to freshen up the Skywalker Saga. For those of you who have played a Lego game before, you know you will then be taken on a comedic retelling of the Star Wars saga as you explore over twenty planets and get the chance to play as over 300 characters. In the trailer, we see that players will get to experience the Skywalker Saga in any order that they wish as you can start with the prequels, original trilogy, or at the end with The Force Awakens. Fans will get to experience the full power of the force as they relive all nine films spanning from the original trilogy to the recent sequel films. The trailer also reveals that the game is launching this April. Lucasfilm Games has released a gameplay trailer for the highly anticipated Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga today.
