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]
