A giant LEGO set of Mos Eisley Cantina has remained unopened in my garage, gathering dust for over a year now. I’ll get around to it someday, but in the meantime I’ll be more than happy playing with my favorite LEGO Star Wars minifigures in the ridiculously epic LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga when […]

Today, Warner Bros. has announced the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Character Collection, a season pass which contains seven DLC packs.

The post Here’s What’s Coming to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Season Pass appeared first on GameSpew.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga celebrates several decades of the iconic sci-fi franchise, and if nine films' worth of gameplay isn't enough for you, then the good news is that post-launch DLC will flesh that galaxy out even further. Sadly, there's no content dedicated specifically to the real MVP of Star Wars, Jar Jar Binks.

What will be available though are multiple character packs, which can be purchased individually or as part of the Character Collection. The Mandalorian content features the fan-favorite mercenary as a playable character and Grogu as a non-playable character. Sorry to burst your Force-bubble, Baby Yoda fans.

For the Solo: A Star Wars Story character pack, you'll be able to play as the younger versions of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian, as well as Qi’ra, Tobias Beckett, and Enfys Nest. These two packs will be available from launch day.

The Classic Characters pack will be available for everyone on April 19, while The Trooper Pack is a bonus early access collection of Imperial characters for anyone who preordered the digital version of the game. and will then be released to everyone else from May 4.

Also out on April 19 is the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story pack and Star Wars Day on May 4 will add has two more character packs from The Mandalorian Season 2 and The Bad Batch, expanding the roster to a size that puts Anakin Skywalker's Midichlorian-count to shame. Hey, it's still canon.

This is the way.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launches on April 5 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, PS5, PS4, and Switch. While some of the news surrounding the game and its ambitious scope has been positive--like weapons that literally make "pew pew" noises--there have been reports of an intense crunch culture at developer TT Games and allegations of constant developer burnout.

Gran Turismo! Ghostwire Tokyo! LEGO Star Wars!

We're still feeling the shockwaves of February's big game releases, but time waits for no one, and 2022 has plenty up its sleeves yet. In fact, some of the year's biggest titles are hitting over the next couple of months — it's already hard to keep up, but this is ridiculous. Something for pretty much everyone is releasing around now, and throughout March and April, there's lots to be excited about. Let's take a look.

Gran Turismo 7 - 4th March

Polyphony Digital took a slight detour with Gran Turismo Sport, which took the emphasis off of the "CaRPG" experience fans adore. Roll on Gran Turismo 7, then, which looks to be a full return to form. The real driving simulator returns on PS5 and PS4 very soon, bringing with it a huge suite of vehicles, tracks, and events to enjoy. Of course, this will be a visual tour-de-force too, so if you're looking for a game to show off your brand new PS5 with, this is likely to be top of the list. Fasten your seatbelts, petrolheads.

The post 2K Is Developing Several LEGO Sports Games Starting With Soccer and Racing appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.

Are you ready for Lego bicycle kicks and massive Lego riots after a controversial red card? 2K Games is hoping so, having reportedly secured the rights to adapt Lego into a variety of sports and racing titles. The first of these is apparently coming this year with a very experienced developer in charge.

According to VGC, 2K Games signed a "new multi-game partnership with Lego" that will see the company producing a number of licensed titles, the first of which are a soccer game and an open-world racing game. The soccer game, planned for release this year, is reportedly being developed by Sumo Digital, while the racing game is in the works at 2K's own studio Visual Concepts. It's a somewhat odd decision on paper, seeing as Sumo Digital has made multiple racing games and Visual Concepts has worked exclusively on sports titles since 2007.

Forza Horizon 4: Lego Speed Champions

The games would not be the first Lego soccer or racing games, but they would be the first in a very long time. Aside from a Forza Horizon 4 expansion, Lego hasn't been adapted into a racing game in decades, and the same goes for soccer. One more sports game is also apparently planned, though it's unclear which sport it will be. 2K responded to VGC's inquiry with a boilerplate "We do not comment on speculation" response.

In recent years, TT Games has been the Lego game studio, but VGC said the company's alleged crunch has concerned The Lego Group. There has been great turnover at the studio over the last year, with its massively ambitious Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga suffering several delays. It's now scheduled to launch on April 5.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features new creatures that have never previously been made for Lego kits.

Ubisoft's 16 announced projects include an Assassin's Creed, two Disney collaborations, and plenty of Tom Clancy.
