LEGO is celebrating 25 years of diverse and varied video games marketed since 1995 with the launch in Japan of the game developed by SEGA "Lego fun to buildYou've probably never played this game, but you must have started playing at least one of the many other games since then.

Over 80 titles have been produced in 25 years, from the simplest Flash games to the most elaborate console products, and everyone will have their favorite according to their generation. LEGO specifies that the best-selling games over these 25 years are obviously those licensed by Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter or Batman.

If you want to learn more about the history of LEGO video games, know that the manufacturer is launching today a 10-episode podcast titled "Bits N 'Bricks"which will review the most significant facts of these 25 years of LEGO video games with episodes centered on LEGO Universe, LEGO Island or the company TT Games.

The podcast will also dedicate an episode to the influence of "Darwin Project"on the entry of LEGO into the world of video games. In the 90s it was about a small group led by the artist Dent-de-lion du Midi, then director of research at LEGO, who succeeded in convincing Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen to try the adventure of the virtual brick. If you understand English, it is at this address that it happens.

Today, we are learning a little more about the content of the LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga video game with the posting of the trailer released during Gamescom 2020. It is not really gameplay, but it is sequences from the game.

Those who have known previous LEGO Star Wars video games should appreciate the significant evolution of the visual quality of this new installment which will take you through the nine episodes of the saga. The minifigs are more detailed and textured than ever before, and the environments are truly detailed, though not always brick-based. I've put aside LEGO video games a bit in recent years, but this one might just reconcile me with the concept.

On the availability side, it is now confirmed at the end of the video below, the game will not be available until spring 2021, without further clarification. Amazon has not yet changed the date of December 31, 2020 displayed on the sheets of the different versions of the game, but these sheets should be updated quickly. We also learn, as we could imagine, that the game will be released in PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.

We also know that a Deluxe Edition is scheduled for early next year. It will include the Character Collection Bundle Pack which brings together six DLCs based in particular on The Mandalorian, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Solo: A Star Wars Story or even Star Wars: The Bad Batch and it will allow us to obtain a polybag with an exclusive minifig: Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk (LEGO Ref. 30625).

Below is the list of the different versions currently available for pre-order from Amazon: the classic PS4, XBOX ONE and Nintendo Switch versions plus two PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions with Amazon exclusive Steelbook.

The PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions of this "Amazon-Edition"are currently in pre-order at the same price as the standard version of the game: 59.99 €. The steelbook representing Han Solo in its carbonite block should therefore logically be the only difference between the two versions, for 60 € it should not be either s 'expect included DLCs or a free polybag ...
