LEGO’s New Studio May Not Need a Hit Right Away

The LEGO brand consistently ranks as one of the top universal franchises in gaming, just as its toy line captivates both kids and adults. Similarly, the LEGO video games continue to bring joy to a wide range of spectators. Additionally, LEGO is still taking daring steps with some of its licensed games, particularly evident in the launch of innovative titles such as LEGO Fortnite and LEGO Horizon Adventures.

More recently, LEGO disclosed plans to establish an in-house game development team for future LEGO video games. Given the consistent acclaim and popularity of LEGO-themed games, there will be significant pressure on this new team. However, they should not unduly stress about making their first release a monumental success; instead, focusing on creating a high-quality game is crucial.

LEGO’s New Direction Will Take Its Time To Show Up

LEGO Is Still Working To Build Its New Developer

Initially, it’s unclear what exactly this new LEGO development team involves, as the brand has yet to disclose details such as the team size and the types of professionals they are recruiting. This could matter to gamers since the caliber of personnel hired might provide some insight into the potential genres or styles of games the team will create in the future.

Since there’s little known about the developer except that it exists, we can’t definitively say what type of games this team will focus on producing. However, LEGO has announced its intention to expand its online gaming efforts and explore “hybrid” experiences that blend games with toys. Additionally, LEGO’s interest in collaborating more closely with brands like Nike and F1 suggests that the new team may focus on creating sports and racing games under the LEGO brand.

TT Games Can Always Be Called Back To Make LEGO Games

Since the new LEGO development team is still freshly assembled, it’s understandable that the main LEGO developer hasn’t had much opportunity yet to define the team’s unique character. It might not be reasonable to ask this team to begin creating a blockbuster game right away, as they haven’t had enough time to bond effectively with each other. Essentially, the team may require a few trials to discover their preferred style of games and the best strategies for future projects.

Regardless of the success or failure of this newly established game studio, LEGO can rely on TT Games (previously known as Traveller’s Tales) to continue producing LEGO games. Since 2005, when they released LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, TT Games has been dedicated to developing LEGO titles and has only worked on them since 2009. Although a new main developer might allow TT Games to explore fresh ideas, LEGO always has the option to collaborate with TT Games again in the future.

As a member of this freshly assembled game development crew, I can’t help but feel the excitement and uncertainty about what our unique identity as the new LEGO developers will ultimately become. The task ahead is vast and full of potential, but for now, it’s all about shaping our own destiny in the world of virtual brick-building!

TT Games Is Still Reportedly Working On A LEGO Game

2026 can’t come soon enough, as I’ve heard whispers that TT Games is still brewing another fantastic LEGO game! Though they might not be the sole developers for LEGO anymore, it’s evident that the LEGO universe won’t let them stray too far, considering their impressive history. It’ll be crucial for LEGO to ensure the new developer thrives, but having TT Games as a backup, with their proven track record of amazing adaptations, would be nothing short of a blessing for gamers like me!

LEGO’s freshly formed in-house development squad might not have their upcoming game finished for several years yet. However, there’s no rush for them to produce an instant blockbuster like TT Games’ creations straight away. We can only hope that LEGO provides the necessary support and encouragement for this new studio to thrive, so that when they finally release their games, they are successful.
