TT Games hiring LEGO model designer for ‘Speed Champions’ vehicles
TT Games is currently looking for a LEGO model designer skilled in creating Speed Champions-style vehicles, suggesting its next LEGO video game may not be hooked to Harry Potter after all.
Speculation around the studio’s first follow-up to 2022’s LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has so far pointed to a possible revamp of its previous LEGO Harry Potter games, perhaps arriving in time for HBO’s Wizarding World TV show in 2026. That was partly born out of TT posting job roles for a game ‘based on a major IP’ – but its latest listing points in an entirely different direction.
Under ‘beneficial skills’, the LEGO Model Designer ad includes: “Skilled in LEGO vehicle design such as those seen in the LEGO Speed Champions range.” It’s hard to think of the relevancy of that skillset for a LEGO Harry Potter game (beyond a garage of Flying Ford Anglias), so we’re probably looking at something completely fresh and different from TT Games at some point in the near future.
The first thing that springs to mind is – of course – a LEGO Formula 1 game, given the LEGO Group’s ongoing partnership with the motorsport (which could still qualify as a ‘major IP’). You’d have thought such a title might have been ready for what is shaping up to be the year of Formula 1 in 2025, but who knows? The pitch for a video game may have come just that little bit too late – yet would still be relevant in 2026 or beyond anyway.
One of the biggest challenges for a LEGO Formula 1 game would be differentiating it substantially from LEGO 2K Drive, beyond the obvious confines of F1 racetracks versus the open-world racing of 2K Games’ 2023 title. The slightly-muted reception to that game suggests TT may have its work cut out to find an audience, too.
It’s worth noting though that this job ad doesn’t rule out other LEGO TT Games titles: in fact, it specifically describes the role as helping to ‘deliver the next generation of AAA games created at TT’. That’s games plural, and it’s not entirely out of the question for the studio to be working across multiple titles at once – so a revamped LEGO Harry Potter game in the vein of The Skywalker Saga could still be on the cards.
Until TT Games makes an official announcement about what it has up its sleeve next, all we can do for now is speculate. But LEGO video gamers have little else to do right now: there are currently zero brick-built titles on the horizon following the debut of 2024’s Guerrilla Games crossover LEGO Horizon Adventures.
