Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is heading from a galaxy far, far away to a console near you soon.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is currently in-development at TT Games and, after a few delays, we’re hoping to see it make its new release window: Spring 2022. The first Lego Star Wars game since 2016’s The Force Awakens, The Skywalker Saga looks set to be the most ambitious addition to the series yet, covering all nine of the mainline Star Wars movies. Players will have access to hundreds of playable characters from every era of the saga and they’ll be able to visit many iconic settings as they play through the movies “in any order they choose” to “create their own unique journey through the galaxy.” Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is expected to release in ‘Spring 2022’, with a more solid date yet to be locked in. Now that we’re finally in its release year, we’re hoping to see a more definite date soon but, while we wait, here’s everything you need to know about Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has had a bit of a difficult development. After missing an October 2020 window, the game tried to hit a ‘Spring 2021’ release date and missed that too. After an announcement at Gamescom 2021, we now know that Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s release date is set for ‘Spring 2022’. A more exact date than that hasn’t been announced yet but we’re hoping that will change soon. A new gameplay trailer for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker dropped during Gamescom 2021’s Opening Night Live, giving us a tantalizing look at the game in action. Check it out below. Prior to that Gamescom trailer, we had, of course, already seen a little bit from the game. Way back in the summer of 2019 we were treated to a reveal trailer, showing off the franchise’s glitzy new visual look, and the series’ trademark humor, albeit in a teaser that didn’t appear to show any gameplay: Then in August 2020 we were pleasantly surprised to see a gameplay trailer that matched the visual polish of the teaser. As well as showing off key playable scenes from the franchise, from dogfights to lightsaber duels, the game still features the wacky toybox-like potential for mischief that previous Lego games have had. Keep an eye out for C-3PO riding a bantha, for instance: As mentioned earlier, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is in the enviable position of being able to adapt tales from right across the entire ‘Skywalker’ saga. In other words, you’ll be playing scenes from the original trilogy (Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi), the prequel trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith) and the sequel trilogy (The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker). That does mean the excellent Rogue One, Solo: A Star Wars Story and The Mandalorian TV show are not set to feature.
