- Lego wants you to make fan games - and it may even publish them - 6 January 2021
The Lego Group - the company responsible for the colourful plastic bricks that have been used to build everything from Portal test chambers to a GTX 1660-powered gaming PC - recently unveiled a partnership with Unity, allowing fans to build Lego-based games in the process of learning game creation. Now, the company is looking at potentially publishing the best fan games that emerge from that partnership. The Lego Microgame is a learning tool for Unity that introduces the basics of the Unity engine through pleasantly familiar Lego bricks. It's downloadable from the Unity store, and you can use it to snap together your own Lego game with easy-to-use, ready-made assets. In a recent episode of the Bits N' Bricks podcast , co-hosts Ethan Vincent and Brian Crecente spoke with Lego Group senior technical lead Anders Holm, who said the company is examining the feasibility of publishing fan-made…

- Sandbox Patch - 13 September 2018
Morning all, Due to popular demand, Sandbox Mode now has everything unlocked by default. So that means creatures like the Dragons and T-Rex can be placed in Sandbox Worlds with wild abandon! The same goes for special characters such as the Minotaur and the Cyclops. Character customisation is also fully unlocked in this mode, so enjoy making loads of whacky characters to play as. Oh, and a bunch of bug fixes that we've toiled away at. Many thanks! Chris
- Lego Fortnite Battle Royale looks good enough to be real - 23 July 2018
If you think about it, Lego and Fortnite have a lot in common. There's the building element, obviously, but as all good Lego fans know it's just as much fun to break things up and start over. And there's plenty of destruction on offer in this imagining of a Lego Fortnite Battle Royale, made by fan Bearly Regal using sandbox construction game Lego Worlds. The star of the show, really, is the recreation of Fortnite's most famous location - Tilted Towers. The skyscrapers, clock towers and streets are all there, and all able to be be blown to pieces.

- Here's an area of Dark Souls recreated in LEGO Worlds - 5 June 2018
Lego Worlds isn't just Minecraft with Lego* – players can also create their own games using some pretty intuitive in-game tools. Take this example: someone has built Dark Souls' Firelink Shrine in the block-building game, and they've not forgotten to include those horrible respawning skeletons. The work of reddit user MythicMarty , it was created using Lego World's in-game tools. The health and stamina status bar elements were added in Adobe After Effects, and the voiceover work was torn out of the original game. It took around a month to build the environment and create the video, and if you click play on the embedded file below, you'll note that this is only part one. Assuming MythicMarty doesn't get distracted by other things, we'll probably get to see more Lego Dark Souls in the future. *It kinda is just Minecraft with Lego.
- New Patch Today - 28 March 2018
Hi all, Today we released a new patch for LEGO Worlds across Xbox One, PS4 and PC, with Switch due to roll-out sometime next week. It is a general housekeeping patch with several bug fixes, as well as updating a backend Analytics system that we use to help us track player behaviour data, as well as performance data we use to help improve the games general stability and terrain generation. In the interest of absolute transparency, it is worth highlighting that this Analytics system can be opted out of at any time from the Main Menu settings options, and that there is no way we can physically track who you are through this system. The system randomly assigns a very long number to each users save game, meaning that in no way can we ever link back to find out who you are through this data. So rest assured that this information is perfectly secure and also in-line with the upcoming GDPR chan…

- Title Update 3 + Monsters DLC releases tomorrow! - 25 October 2017
Hi everyone! Before we go any further, we would like to take this opportunity to thank those who post their opinions and share their thoughts on Worlds so far, on what they both like and dislike. As avid gamers ourselves we keep an eye on all formats of feedback from video reviews to popular forum websites, and this both helps and informs us as they are very valuable forms of feedback. We are always aiming to improve Worlds as an experience. This leads us into our next point, and to talk about the upcoming patch. The next big patch after this one, is very much a quality of life patch and should be addressing a number of issues that we have collated and addressed as being of high importance tweaks or features. As a game that’s based on LEGO building as its core, we have spent our time this patch on improving the building tools by tweaking their functionality and adding features to improv…

- Been a while. Let's share some news! - 15 September 2017
Hi folks, Been a while since we spoke. We've been busy getting the Switch version out there and now are back on the track of version parity once again. We've got an update due soon for the next DLC, but it'll also include some changes to the main game as part of an update too. These include a new tool we're calling the Planner, which auto-builds houses in quick time for you. And a much needed update to the Discovery Tool menus, to allow for quicker and easier navigation. This will also include adding Silhouettes to stuff you don't yet have (we finally changed our minds on that one). There's also the Monsters DLC pack as mentioned previously, which will see new quests, characters etc, and we'll be adding achievements to that and retroactively adding them to Classic Space too. Then, in 2018, we have A LOAD of new stuff new planned (free and paid). We'll share more on those soon, including…

- LEGO Worlds blasting off to vintage Space in first DLC - 14 June 2017
LEGO’s classic Space set is coming to the Minecraftbut LEGO Worlds in its first themed DLC pack. To some, the sight of that little spacecar and the honking great spaceship might inspire nostalgic joy. Myself, I am reminded that the greatest shame of my childhood was stealing a LEGOman from a family friend because LEGO was a once-a-year birthday treat and I ached for that knight with a horse wearing a dress . As soon as I finish explaining about the DLC and how it’s due out in July for a couple quid, I will phone and apologise. First, let’s look at this trailer: …
