LEGO Worlds is a video game produced by TT Games. LEGO Worlds became available on Steam Early Access on June 1, 2015, before being released on Windows PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4 on March 7, 2017. The game will also be released on the Nintendo Switch at a later date.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

The game is centred around building and exploration. The player selects a randomly generated world, containing different biomes, such as desert, sea or forest. In each one, there are different decorations, vehicles, minifigures and creatures that can be obtained by going near them or - in the case of some minifigures - by defeating them in a fight. Once they have been obtained, the player can buy them and use them whenever they want. Minifigure parts are also unlocked in the character creator.

The game also contains building tools.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “Yes, the game will be available at a reduced price during Early Access” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We’ll be actively monitoring the Community Hub here on STEAM and look forward to feedback and suggestions for the game. We'll also be offering people a chance to experience the Development of a LEGO title for the first time, and several members of the team will be providing some interesting dev diaries over the coming months.”
