]]>An upcoming Lego Icons The Lord of the Rings: Barad-Dûr set that features the glowing Eye of Sauron is set to be released on June 1st for Lego Insiders members, and on general sale for all other customers from June 4th. It will cost $459.99/£399.99.
]]>As we head into another corporate made-up holiday for May 4th, know that there is at least one significant, non-annual, and lesser-discussed Star Wars thing to celebrate in 2024 - 25 years of Lego Star Wars.
]]>The world of Lego is nowhere near as secretive as video games, and that means it’s pretty normal for the first word about upcoming Lego sets to just squeak out onto the internet with little fanfare thanks to retailers and the like. Such is the case for the next wave of Lego Sonic the Hedgehog sets, which are set to arrive in August.
]]>More Lego Animal Crossing sets are on the way, and this time they'll see the arrival of fan favourite singing dog K.K. Slider.
]]>Star Wars Day takes place next Saturday (May the Fourth be with you) but Lego has already kicked off some of its celebrations with some cool new Star Wars figures.
]]>Lego has finally shown off its Dungeons & Dragons set, and yes it has both of those things, as well as a bit more.

]]>In this job, you spend a lot of the time at the end of the year in a retrospective frame of mind, reconsidering everything that’s crossed your desk. What are the highlights, the lowlights, and the memorable moments? We’ve covered a lot of that in our Alternate Game Awards and in our more serious GOTY write-ups - but obviously, my life isn’t just video games.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a survival-crafting game that combines the Fortnite map with LEGO crafting bricks. You’ll wind up exploring far and wide while also building a village (or five) out of LEGO bricks, and attracting as many new villagers as possible.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is one interesting crossover. Across a vibrant, Fortnite-esque map, you’re tasked with building bustling villages made of LEGO bricks and forging your own adventure. There’s caves, animals, and everything you’d expect from a survival-crafting game with blockiness akin to Minecraft.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a new crossover game mode themed around survival, and as such, learning and making new recipes forms a huge part of the gameplay. Unlocking better recipes as you advance into more difficult and dangerous terrain can quite literally make-or-break your exploration attempts.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a spin-off survival mode within a game best known for its battle royale, so you really shouldn't be surprised if you have to get your hands dirty once in a while. But setting up a homestead garden to grow your own crops sounds like a lovely way to relax in a game that'll often see you running frantically from a pack of wolves, right?
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a survival mode spin-off contained within Fortnite itself, styled with (as you've probably already guessed) LEGO bricks rather than the usual cartoony style. As a survival game, settlement building is naturally a big part of what you'll be doing in LEGO Fortnite, and one of the first things you're prompted to do is establish a village where your character can make their home base.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is the crossover I didn’t quite expect to see, but it works brilliantly in this survival-crafting spin-off from Epic Games. Bearing a lot of similarities to Minecraft, this game has you and friends setting up a bustling village in the middle of a Fortnite map, albeit made from LEGO bricks and so forth.
]]>is a survival-crafting game that blends the goofy, childlike fun of LEGO with the chaos and style of Fortnite. It’s a lot like Minecraft, offering the ability to build whatever base you want using LEGO bricks and the assortment of LEGO-shaped resources you find across your world.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is the survival-crafting spin-off that allows players to venture into a Fortnite-style world, but instead of battling for a Victory Royale, you and your friends will be having a much more relaxing time building a village teeming with life.
]]>Surviving in the harsh world of LEGO Fortnite for long enough to build your dream village isn't easy. You have to contend with vicious animals, evil enemies, and deadly temperatures at both ends of the spectrum.
]]>As you go about building your homestead in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll find that plenty of villagers who pass by will come and say hello. Provided that your base is warm and has enough beds to house people, some villagers might even ask to move in and help you out.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is an open-world survival and crafting game that you can enjoy alongside up to seven friends in multiplayer. But even if you're playing solo, you don't have to go it alone, thanks to the option to recruit NPC villagers to join your settlement.
]]>LEGO Fortnite feels a lot like Minecraft had an Unreal Engine facelift, but it’s great fun exploring your world, upgrading your village, and turning your measly plot of land into an attractive tourist hotspot. As you advance with the game and level up your village, you’ll unlock new recipes and structures to build, with some eventually requiring Silk Thread.
]]>Blast Powder is LEGO Fortnite’s answer to Minecraft’s redstone, being a resource used for making things explode or for giving them the power required to function. It’s not too difficult to find either, but finding it in abundance can be troublesome, so you’ll want to keep an eye out for it wherever possible.
]]>If you’re hoping to find resources such as Marble and Knotroot in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll need to explore all the biomes on offer in search of caves. Caves, while full of pesky enemies, are also full of resources that are vital to keeping your village bustling and acquiring new upgrades.
]]>The world of LEGO Fortnite is a dangerous place. Between the packs of roaming wolves, enemy adventurers and night-time plague of skeletons, it’s very easy to get one-shotted if you wander into a high level area without armor.
]]>You can find Rough Amber in the Desert biome of LEGO Fortnite and process it into Cut Amber using a Gem Cutter.
]]>Flexwood can be collected from the Dry Valley desert region of LEGO Fortnite by chopping down Cacti with a Level 3 “Rare” Forest Axe, by crushing Cacti with a boulder, or by blowing Cacti up with dynamite.
]]>Rough Ruby is found inside desert caves in the Dry Valley area of LEGO Fortnite. It’s a rare resource which, when refined into Cut Ruby, is used to create powerful charms that imbue your character with strong buffs and bonuses.
]]>Obsidian is a rare resource in LEGO Fortnite that is found inside caves in the Dry Valley region of your game world.
]]>A key part of any survival game is gradually building up a storeroom full of the best equipment, so, to take your adventure to new heights, here is how to upgrade your tools in LEGO Fortnite!
]]>Marble in LEGO Fortnite has many uses in both building construction and item crafting.
]]>Knotroot is a very important, advanced resource in LEGO Fortnite which lets you build stronger tools, more powerful items and push your village to new heights.
]]>LEGO Fortnite may be a survival game mode that's quite different from the battle royale we know and love, but just like more familiar forms of Fortnite, it's better with friends.
]]>In LEGO Fortnite you explored a varied landscape of different biomes, collecting resources, making friends and crafting structures to create your own thriving village.
]]>Wooden planks are a fundamental resource in LEGO Fortnite. They’re not just the building blocks that prop up your buildings, but are vital for crafting useful equipment as well.
]]>Cord is an important material in LEGO Fortnite that is used to craft shields, structures and other items.
]]>Shell is an interesting resource in LEGO Fortnite, being used in items like the health charm and other defensive equipment as well as construction.
]]>One of the key survival features of LEGO Fortnite is temperature. When the chilly winds bite and the needle on the thermometer drops, the temperature can get dangerously cold very quickly.
]]>Ever seen a sparkling rainbow fairy while you’re exploring in LEGO Fortnite? Well, if you chase after them there’s a brilliant reward waiting at the end of the race.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is definitely not a crossover that I expected to see this year, but it’s one that myself and plenty of others have welcomed with open arms. In this survival-crafting game, the world of Fortnite is given a LEGO brick makeover while you and your friends strive to create a bustling town.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is the latest game mode to take Epic Games’ battle royale by storm. As a survival-crafting game, you’ll find it bears plenty of similarities to Minecraft as you attempt to forge your own town and convince folk to move in.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a brand-new game mode added to Epic Games’ battle royale, and in this survival-crafting spin-off, you’ll be adventuring around as a blocky, LEGO character who’s attempting to start their own town. It comes as no surprise that this game bears a lot of similarities to Minecraft in its mobs and systems, but it’s shaping up to be pretty good fun so far.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a game mode with an interesting premise: what if Fortnite, but actually Minecraft, and made of LEGO? It's a busy concept on the surface, but the key points to know are that this is a survival/crafting mode with shades of Valheim and other games of that ilk.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is a bit of a bizarre mash-up, but one that I am surprised we didn’t see sooner. In this blocky, survival-based take on the battle royale, players will be farming, crafting, and exploring as they head on this adventure.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is certainly a weird collision between worlds. In this survival-crafting game, you’ll be scouring luscious Fortnite maps for resources, meeting LEGO brick friends and creatures along the way. You’ll soon enough go about building your own village, and later, town, as you try to stay alive, complete quests, and attract more townsfolk.
]]>There are loads of different uses for cooking in LEGO Fortnite: healing, hunger and giving stat boosts to your character.
]]>LEGO Fortnite is an immersive experience that combines the constructive creativity of LEGO with the endless excitement of Fortnite. It’s a survival-crafting game, similar to Minecraft, so while there's still plenty to learn, setting up a new homestead for yourself and getting started isn't too difficult.
]]>LEGO is coming to Fortnite, and in a big way. A brand new LEGO experience can be found in Fortnite from December 7, giving Fortnite fans new and old something different to play.
]]>Earlier this week marked the launch of an exciting new collaboration between video games and one of the biggest toy companies in the world: Lego Sonic the Hedgehog. While Lego and video games have long shared a close association, this might just be one of the best crossovers yet.
]]>LEGO sets based on Nintendo's Animal Crossing IP are said to be in the works.
]]>In recent years, The Lego Group has undergone something of a transformation. Something clicked for the company with as much clarity as two classic 2x4 studded bricks snapping together; adults like this stuff just as much as kids.
]]>LEGO 2K Drive, the first in a multi-title partnership between 2K Games and LEGO, will feature post-launch content such as a Year 1 Pass.
]]>Lego and Nintendo have announced their latest Mario sets, this time focusing on the one and only Donkey Kong (and his family too).
]]>After months of speculation and a couple of persistent leaks, the Lego Group has announced its latest video game collaboration: Lego Sonic the Hedgehog.
]]>If you like Lego and video games, it’s an exciting time. For the first time in years, it’s looking like we’re going to get a fairly large-budget, console-based Lego game that isn’t some sort of spin on the Traveler’s Tales formula perfected in Lego Star Wars and its kin. Not some mobile game, not a limited-scope indie-style effort like the excellent Lego Bricktales – but something mainstream, mass-market, and different.
]]>The set of projects that qualified for the third and final Lego Ideas review period of 2022 have been confirmed - and they include Lego sets based on Pac-Man and The Legend of Zelda.
]]>I'll be honest with you: I didn’t play many games this year.
]]>Looking for the best Christmas gifts for the gamer in your life? It can be hard to know what to buy your gamer friends if you’re not a gamer yourself; with services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, the chances that they’ve played the game you want to get them are likely high – and as we move into a post-ownership world of gaming, you’ll find that a lot of players aren’t that fussed about actually owning physical copies of games any more.
]]>If you've ever been on Lego Ideas, you've probably seen some fan The Legend of Zelda sets. Well, not any more, as Lego has apparently banned Zelda ideas from the service.
]]>Lego Bricktales is the sort of game that would’ve been seismic to me as a child. Lego obsessed from the moment I held my first set, I’ve nevertheless felt that Lego video games have more often than not deliberately dodged or accidentally avoided the freedom of expression and creativity that these magical little bricks allow in the real world. When a game embraces that angle, it’s often gold, as was the case for many of the classic Lego games of the nineties. In Lego Bricktales, we finally have another such game – and it’s brilliant.
]]>It’s now official, and irrefutable: Lego is no longer just for children. This has always been the case, of course, but in recent years the company itself has started to embrace this fact. First there was ‘Creator Expert’, a line of larger, more complicated and expensive sets. Then came adult-driven packaging, signaled by sleek black boxes and a marketing campaign that gleefully declares ‘Adults Welcome’. Like a lot of the best kids’ toys, Lego is for kids first – but is perfectly good for adults, too.
]]>Warner Bros. and TT Games have announced the Galactic Edition for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
]]>It’s that time again - another video game world is under consideration by the design team at Lego, with a chance to become an official Lego product in stores the world over. This time, it’s a strong fit for brick-built worlds - with Terraria getting the Lego treatment.
]]>The LEGO Group and Thunderful have announced platforms and a release window for the upcoming adventure game LEGO Bricktales.
]]>This week, Lego turns 90 years old – an incredible milestone for a little toy company that, at several points in its life, was on the verge of going under. It’s more impressive still that Lego reaches this milestone while one of the biggest toy brands on the planet, recognizable to children everywhere, and all achieved while remaining a private company.
]]>For a while, the Nintendo Entertainment System was the only game console that you could build out of the pieces of an official Lego set - but it’s now got company in the form of a new Lego Atari 2600.
]]>Lego and Nintendo might have a successful collaboration with Lego Super Mario, but fans hoping for another of Shigeru Miyamoto’s creations to make the jump to brick form today suffer another setback - as the latest Lego Ideas review rejects yet another set based on The Legend of Zelda.
]]>The Lego Group and Nintendo have revealed the latest large-scale construction set to join the Lego Super Mario series - an enormous set titled The Mighty Bowser.
]]>Brick lovers gather round, as at Lego Con 2022, the plastic building company and Nintendo announced a new line of Super Mario character packs.
]]>Two new DLC packs are now available for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
]]>To celebrate Star Wars Day, Microsoft and LEGO have teamed up to offer you a chance to win one of 12 Xbox Series S consoles inspired by LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
]]>LEGO has announced that its latest game, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, has already sold over 3.2 million copies.
]]>It’s been a while since I’ve played one of the ‘traditional’ Lego video games. Before the excellent Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, I’d not played a ‘pure’ one of these games in-depth since the first Lego Indiana Jones, even though I had minor flirtations with various Lego adventures over the many years since. I loved Lego Builder’s Journey and Lego City Undercover, too – but they’re different things.
]]>Epic Games has announced that it is receiving $2billion in funding from both Sony and Kirkbi, the holding and investment company of The Lego Group.
]]>LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is out today, and so are the reviews.
]]>It’s been a few months now since another video game icon made his kinda-sorta Lego debut with the release of Lego set 21331 – Sonic the Hedgehog’s Green Hill Zone. Sonic might only have one set where Mario has many, but it’s a hell of a set.
]]>This new video for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga takes a look at some of the most iconic villains to ever grace a film saga.
]]>In collaboration with the LEGO Group, Thunderful has revealed LEGO Bricktales, a new digital adventure being developed by Clockstone, developers of the Bridge Constructor series.
]]>A new behind-the-scenes video highlighting the breadth of content and sense of freedom has been released for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
]]>LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is getting a Season Pass. Called the Character Collection, you can expect seven downloadable content packs with playable characters, some of which are from outside the nine saga films.
]]>Attention LEGO fans and Horizon fans: you can soon own your very own LEGO version of the Tallneck from Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>After what seems like ages waiting, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will finally be released on April 5, according to Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm Games.
]]>Lego Overwatch hasn’t had the greatest time of things. I always felt the two brands were a bit of a weird fit – but it was never exactly successful despite having some cool sets. After two ‘waves’ of Overwatch building kits, Lego seemingly canned the majority of a third wave of Overwatch sets thanks to the tepid response. A couple of sets survived, with one planned to release next month - but that’s now been shelved thanks to the ongoing disaster that is the public-facing image and internal operations of Activision Blizzard. Disgraced executives refusing to resign may very well have hammered the final nail into the Lego Overwatch theme.
]]>LEGO has announced it will delay its Overwatch 2 Titan set as it currently reviewing the partnership it has with Activision Blizzard.
]]>Fan hopes for Lego sets based on Zelda and Metroid are dashed today as the latest Lego Ideas review decisions are unveiled - and several video game related sets are among those rejected.
]]>Of all the passions I had when I was a kid, only a handful of them have truly endured to adulthood. Games, punk music, and Lego all share that honor. I’m still a huge Lego nerd, and pump an alarming amount of my disposable income into sets yearly - and so that hopefully signals that it means something when I say I think the new Lego Super Mario 64 ? Block is one of the coolest sets I’ve ever built.
]]>The UK Lego site recently tagged three of their Super Mario sets as “retiring soon”, each of which was released in the first wave of Super Mario Lego Products. The sets are Boomer Bill Barrage Expansion Set, Whomp’s Lava Trouble Expansion Set, and Builder Mario Power-Up Pack.
]]>Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagagot a brand new trailer at gamescom Opening Night Live, so it's official: the title isn't dead!.
]]>Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is not dead, despite having been delayed multiple times. At gamescom Opening Night Live this week, we're finally getting a fresh look at the game.
]]>Lego Mario just keeps growing - and getting better.
]]>Perennial Player 2 icon Luigi is joining the popular Super Mario LEGO set soon, and he'll add some more fun gimmicks to the original set.
]]>A week after Lego's electronic Super Mario set started calling out for perennial Player 2 icon Luigi, a leak has suggested the lankier plumber bro is getting the Lego treatment, too.
]]>It's taken two years, but the incredible Sonic the Hedgehog Lego set we reported on back in 2019 has finally been approved - it will become a real Lego set.
]]>Lego Super Mario might have some company soon.
]]>Additional LEGO Super Mario sets and a new character pack have been announced.
]]>This is rather cute.
]]>Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has been delayed, but we did get our first look at gameplay today.
]]>Lego Mario is here - but which sets are most worth your money?
