LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga coming in 2020

More information and a few screenshots from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga have been shared.

Information has been shared about LEGO Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, following the teaser trailer release at E3 2019. The press release reveals that hundreds of characters and vehicles will be available to unlock in the game that will combine all nine episodic Star Wars films into one LEGO title. The game will be released in 2020 on Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC.

As with the previous LEGO Star Wars games, players can choose where to begin their adventure:

Friends and family can dive right into their favourite saga film and play through memorable Star Wars moments, reimagined with LEGO fun and humour. Players can start at the beginning with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, begin the original trilogy with Star Wars: A New Hope, or launch right into Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, both of which are making their LEGO Star Wars game debut. From the desert of Geonosis, to the swamps of Dagobah, to the snowfields of Starkiller Base – players will have the power to revisit any planet, at any time, in any order they wish. The entire galaxy is available to discover and play in.

It seems that TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive are playing things close to the chest for now, with most of the features just being the usual that players expect from a LEGO video game – but one feature might be new: “Players can play on the light or dark side of the Force, master combat, and take control of ships and vehicles for empowering adventures throughout the galaxy.” Will there be an actual combat and Force powers system in this game, rather than the usual random button-bashing?

“LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga marks our return to the franchise that kicked off the LEGO video game series. The game will give fans an all-new LEGO Star Wars experience with complete freedom to explore the LEGO Star Wars galaxy,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “It was an absolute pleasure to be part of the launch of the original LEGO Star Wars game and it’s equally exciting to now move the series forward and help create a new era of LEGO Star Wars games.”

“With the Skywalker saga coming to an end, we wanted to give fans the ultimate Star Wars video game experience with all the humour and charm that is uniquely LEGO,” said Douglas Reilly, Vice President, Lucasfilm Games. “LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will bring to life all those Star Wars adventures remembered and undiscovered in an epic culmination of all nine saga films as fans celebrate the closing of this chapter in Star Wars.”

“We are thrilled to continue LEGO Star Wars’ 20 years legacy with this impressive new game where kids and families can join forces to explore the galaxy together,” said Sean McEvoy, Vice President, Digital Games, The LEGO Group. “LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga contains a massive amount of content and is an accessible entry point to the Star Wars galaxy, featuring all of the fun and unforgettable gameplay that makes LEGO games appealing to audiences of all ages.”

The last LEGO Star Wars video game was The Force Awakens, released in 2016.
