A change of sides for LEGO games? 2K games would take over by exploring new genres. The publisher would completely do without classic action/adventure titles.
This indiscretion comes from our colleagues VGCthat aren’t on the first try. According to them, warners like TT Games would be ousted and 2K Games would take up the torch of LEGO video games. At least for two projects that are in development in two different studios.
A bit of sport for animated bricks
This is one of the scoops from the last few hours, with absence from Call of Duty in 2023, 2K Games worked on two LEGO sports games. A deal made possible by the expiration of the exclusive partnership between the brick company and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
The first published title would be a Football software by Sumo Digital, the English studio that Tencent acquired for $1.27 billion. The team would aim an availability in 2022taking advantage of the presence of the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
Then it would be your turn visual concepts (NBA, WWE 2K …), de 2023to the an open world racing game. This choice is funny to say the least, because between the two studios Sumo Digital has more experience in this area. They are behind Team Sonic Racing, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, even TOCA or OutRun 2 on Xbox. Ah and big surprise (no, not really), both LEGO games would have to honor to greet – among other – from character from Marvel, Harry Potter and DC.
VGC names two titles in particular, however a third “based on a major sports franchise” would also be in development.
The LEGO Force is no longer with TT Games
A page will turn because if the rumor is true, it will put an end to LEGO production from TT Games, another English studio that’s been making games happen since 2005. The chaotic development of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which has exhausted the teams, could be a reason for this break. A pause that may not be definitive at the time of writing these lines. in the facts Above all, LEGO wants to expand its spectrum cooperationslike Disney with Star Wars.
In addition, it states that the goal of 2K Games is to expand its sports offering and that attracting a young audience is a good way to achieve its goals. So a golden opportunity.
