It’s almost been more than a year since Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was announced at E3 2019, and a lot about the game is still shrouded in mystery. What we do know about it paints this entry as the most ambitious Lego game yet and should please fans of both movies and games when it finally releases.
Here’s everything we know about Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga:
Release Date
When Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was revealed during E3 2019, it was only given a vague 2020 release window. Officially, TT Games and WB Games have been fairly quiet about the game and not revealed a more specific window or date.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was rumored for release on 20th October 2020, though at Gamescom it was announced that the game had been delayed to Spring 2021.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be released on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch.
Trailer
The official announcement trailer was released over the first weekend of June during Microsoft’s E3 2019 presentation.
The official gameplay trailer which featured at Gamescom 2020 can be watched below:
Plot
There is no official plot synopsis, but we know that all nine films that make up the cinematic Star Wars Skywalker saga will be included in this title. That means that the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be adapted for the first time for a video game and that the stories of the previous Skywalker saga installments (Star Wars Episodes I – VII) will be featured. It’s unclear if an overarching narrative will help connect the stories from each film together or if players will be able to play from one film’s story to the next.
Gameplay
There will be a total of 45 levels for players to make their way through, but the game also gets more detailed than previous Lego titles. To start, combat has been reworked to be more involved and combo-based.
The hub of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be a vast open-world that lets players fly between various famous planets from the films, fighting enemies in space along the way. Players will also be able to start from any point in the saga according to an interview on the official Star Wars website. That same interview also reveals that the game will feature almost 500 characters.
When the game comes out this Spring, get your lightsabers ready, and may the force be with you!
