When we mix Mario Kart, Forza Horizon and building blocks, we get LEGO 2K Drive. A new game that looks crazy at the sight of the gameplay trailer.
All that was needed was a trailer to further encircle LEGO 2K Drive and that’s it. 2K Games and the developers of Visual Concepts summarize in many excerpts what to expect from the title.
Mario Kart + Forza Horizon + Bricks = LEGO 2K Drive
Announced a few hours ago LEGO 2K drive is already back with a first gameplay trailer. Presented by Ambre Héyage and Jean Talliage, this video sheds light on the different modes and the fun that seems to flow from the title. In this racing game there are no real rules in terms of driving. For unlimited fun, Visual Concepts has made almost all of the open world destructible.
Clips demonstrating LEGO 2K Drive’s affiliation with Forza Horizon, Mario Kart and even Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. As we can see in the trailer, we can switch from a land vehicle to a boat at any time without transition or stop. But to win at all costs, we will also be able to use defensive and offensive power-ups.
Video games have long been a great way for our fans to experience the magic of LEGO. 2K’s strong track record of delivering high quality rendering and innovative titles to a wide audience makes them the best partner for the development of the next iconic LEGO AAA games. Starting with LEGO 2K Drive, we can’t wait for our fans to experience this new life that builds on the LEGO humor and fun that fans have come to expect.

Fun alone or with others
Upon release on May 19, 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), LEGO 2K Drive will feature rich content with single player, cooperative, competitive, local and even Split screen multiplayer. And that’s just the beginning, because as explained at the time of the announcement, there will be a Year 1 Drive Pass.
The game is sold in different editions at slightly lower prices than expected:
- default : $59.99 for PS4 and Xbox One or $69.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
- Super great release : $99.99. It will include a car, vehicle registration, minifigure and the 1-year drive pass. This season pass includes an additional biome, four seasonal content with new vehicles and themes
- Super awesome rivals : $119.99. The content is identical to the Super Awesome Edition, but there will be more new cars at the beginning
In its press release, 2K Games says in black and white “This is the first title in this partnership”. A statement that would rather confirm the rumor that the publisher/developer has a second LEGO sports game in development.
