Lego Ready To Take On Minecraft With Lego Worlds…Bring It On!

 

TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive has just launched Lego Worlds on Steam Early Access and its set to take the goliath that is Minecraft.  Obviously it will have its own identity, but fans of Minecraft and Lego in general need to take note, because the master builders are in town.

 

Lego Worlds will fully utilise the 80+ years of rich history with a “limitless collection of procedurally generated worlds made entirely of LEGO Bricks, where players build unique environments and define their own experience.”  With it being available on Steam Early Access right now, it not only offers you an opportunity to sample the game before its full release, but your feedback will help shape the development of the game.

 

You can check out the official announcement trailer above, along with the official press release and screenshots below.   If Lego Worlds sounds like your cup of team, you can download it here for £11.99.  I’ll be having all my fingers crossed that it makes its way over to the consoles in the near future.

 

“LEGO Worlds embodies the physical, LEGO brick-building fun that consumers have enjoyed for decades, on a digital platform that delivers an entirely new type of experience with the beloved bricks,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “From the brick-by-brick editor, to discovering an expansive range of items, characters and creatures to populate your worlds – the creative possibilities are endless.”

 

In LEGO Worlds, players have the freedom to alter procedurally generated worlds and create anything they can imagine one brick at a time, or use prefabricated structures to customize their environments. Large-scale landscaping tools are available to modify terrain quickly and easily. Entire worlds and creations are brought to life with characters and creatures that interact with each other as well as the player in unexpected ways. From helicopters to dragons, motorbikes to bears, there are always interesting ways for players to explore the vast worlds and discover hidden treasures.

 

Fans of the LEGO building sets will be rewarded with a select number of commercially available sets that can be unlocked in-game during Early Access, with many more to come in future game updates.  Future plans will also offer multiplayer and sharing features, for friends to experience each other’s worlds and show-off their creations.“
