After a long development cycle, rife with delays and extended periods of silence, TT Games today announced that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be released on April 5, 2022. I mean, they could have waited another month and grabbed that May 4th date, but really, do we want to wait another month just so the game can be released on the most glorious of geek holidays? No, we do not. The hype is real, judging by Twitter's response today, and it seems that gamers across the board can't wait to get this game into their robotic hands.
To celebrate the upcoming release, TT Games, Warner Bros. Games, and Lucasfilm Games released an extended game overview trailer, which gives a great look at how huge, awesome, and fun LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will likely be. Prospective players get a great look at the new combat mechanics, the many settings, and the sheer freedom that this game looks to offer. Check it out:
One of the coolest things to be revealed in the trailer is the concept of "character classes", which can be upgraded across the board with found Kyber Bricks. The classes include Jedi, Hero, Dark Side, Villain, Scavenger (Jawas?), Scoundrel (Han and Lando), Bounty Hunter, and a couple of different droid types.
I stand by LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens as one of the best Star Wars games ever made (and probably the best LEGO game to date). If you need something to play while you wait for this epic to arrive, I highly recommend checking that one out.
