Developer Traveller’s Tales has just unveiled a new video for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which is perhaps the most thrilling game in the whole LEGO franchise, during Gamescom 2021 Opening Night Live. Regrettably, this teaser also indicates that the game is currently experiencing a delay.
The Skywalker Saga offers a significant departure from the LEGO video game format. The transition to an over-the-shoulder camera viewpoint, as well as updated fighting techniques, is a welcome shift since the LEGO games’ gameplay had grown a little too identical. The Skywalker Saga has an incredible amount of information, especially when you consider that it covers all nine Star Wars episodes.
The latest video for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is excellent, and it effectively conveys the game’s progression from prior installments. The video’s cinematic directing, presentation, and lightsaber duels are its highlights, but the environment design has been massively extended, with planets seeming wider and more open than ever before. The fact that it manages to preserve the joy that was there in the finest LEGO games is really amazing.
All of the new design decisions appear to revolve on the switch to an over-the-shoulder camera. Overall, it’s a fantastic teaser that showcases all of the new gameplay tweaks and enhancements while also displaying famous sequences from the Star Wars films, all of which have been faithfully recreated in LEGO form. The trailer concludes by revealing that the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has been postponed until 2022.
Since its debut, the Skywalker Saga has wowed audiences, and each new teaser just adds to the anticipation. The postponement until next year is difficult to accept, but when you consider all of the videos that have been provided, it does represent a significant improvement in quality.
The Skywalker Saga was revealed to be delayed from 2020 to 2021 at Gamescom 2020 and then again to 2022 at Gamescom 2021, which is a strange coincidence. Regardless, it is poised to outperform all previous LEGO games when it is released.
Another Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment game, Gotham Knights, was announced to be delayed until 2022 in March. With Hogwarts Legacy and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League scheduled to arrive next year, the publisher is positioned to have a strong year in 2022.
