Lego Worlds is a Lego-themed sandbox game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game allows players to build constructions in a 3D procedurally generated world. A beta version of the game was released on 1 June 2015 on Steam Early Access. It was released on 7 March 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A version for Nintendo Switch was released on 5 September 2017 in North America and 8 September 2017 in Europe.

Gameplay

Lego Worlds is a sandbox video game which allows players to build a world made up of Lego bricks.[2][3] The player is rewarded for collecting objects spread across the map with studs, an in-game currency. The player can build using the items they have encountered. Players can create their own world by using predefined Lego structures or using the "brick-by-brick editor tool". Players' appearances and outfits are customizable in the game. Terrain and environment can be modified via landscaping tools. A variety of vehicles, such as helicopters, and creatures are featured in the game. A multiplayer option and features for world-sharing have been added to the game through later updates.[4]

Development

Prior to the game's official release, it was teased in the back of a Lego set's construction manual.[5] It was formally announced on 1 June 2015 with a simultaneous early access release on Steam to allow the gaming community to provide feedback for continual improvements and the integration of additional content over time.[6] The game left early access and Warner Bros. released the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 8 March 2017.[7] The Nintendo Switch version was released in September 2017.[8] In March 2023 it was reported by Nintendo Life that a mobile version codenamed Project Lego X was in development by Playdemic and later moved to TT Games after they were bought by Electronic Arts (EA).[9]

Reception

Reception was generally positive, though players had mixed opinions in some cases. Metacritic gave the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions a score of 59/100,[10] 71/100,[11] 66/100,[12] and 69/100[13] respectively. The game was nominated for "Family Game" at the 14th British Academy Games Awards.[15][16]

One, titled the Classic Space Pack, added a new biome, several characters, various creatures, vehicles and 2 brick builds: the Space Scooter Base and the Mineral Detector Base.
