New era dawns for LEGO games with in-house development a priority—but there’s room for concern

A new era is on the horizon for games under the LEGO umbrella with a move to more in-house development, but despite that being in the early stages, there is certainly room for concern.
The long partnership with TT Games, who are behind the majority of LEGO games in the past decade or so, including LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and LEGO Marvel Superheroes, is drawing to a close, and while there’s plenty of reasons to be excited, we’ve already seen some worrying signs. Last year’s LEGO Horizon Adventures, released on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, was a bold choice for a game, adopting the LEGO mechanics into Sony’s Horizon brand, but it was a disappointing entry and fell significantly short of the expectations set from the success of the TT Games partnership.
