WB Games and TT Games have released a new video for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga today about building the galaxy. Even in a galaxy far, far away, a lot of work needs to be done in order to take some of the biggest sci-fi films in history and transform them into LEGO so that everything is both accurate and interactive. This latest developer diary goes over the work that the team did to make sure this was not only as accurate as they could make it using real LEGO pieces, but also showing the amount of freedom and exploration players have in these worlds that were created specifically for this game. Remember, this isn’t just a packaged re-release of a couple of titles with some new levels, this is pretty much an entirely new game. You can enjoy the video below as the game will be released on April 5th, 2022.
The development team share their process in bringing the entire Star Wars galaxy to life with living and breathing versions of iconic locations found throughout the nine Skywalker Saga films, and it’s all complemented by classic LEGO humor at every turn. The video also showcases the work that went into implementing weathering effects, differentiating sky colors, and bringing attention to every little detail unseen in previous LEGO video games. Players will have the freedom to explore hub worlds from familiar locations such as Naboo, Endor, Tatooine, and the Cloud City of Bespin, to unlock new vehicles and playable characters, including Mama the Hutt, Yaddle and Babu Frik. Players may also find collecting Kyber Bricks on the varied planets as a main motivator for deviating from the game’s main path, which are used as currency to enhance characters ranging from upgrading Force abilities to increasing blaster fire power.
