Very soon the whole galaxy will be yours as Warner Bros, TT Games, The LEGO Group and Lucasfilm have announced LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC, with it delivering the opportunity for you to play through your favourite moments from all 9 Star Wars Saga films like never before.
Coming to console and PC in 2020, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, is a brand-new console game where players will experience memorable moments and nonstop action as told through the unique lens of LEGO. Running as the biggest LEGO Star Wars game yet, it’ll feature all nine Skywalker saga films, including the highly anticipated conclusion to the series, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
This is a game which will immerse players into the expansive saga with the freedom to control hundreds of characters and vehicles in order to create their own unique journey through the galaxy.
That means friends and family can dive right into their favourite saga film and play through memorable Star Wars moments, reimagined with LEGO fun and humour. Players can start at the beginning with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, begin the original trilogy with Star Wars: A New Hope, or launch right into Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, both of which are making their Star Wars game debuts. From the desert of Geonosis, to the swamps of Dagobah, to the snowfields of Starkiller Base – you will have it within your power to revisit any planet, at any time, in any order you so wish. In fact, the entire galaxy is available to discover and play in.
“LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga marks our return to the franchise that kicked off the LEGO video game series. The game will give fans an all-new LEGO Star Wars experience with complete freedom to explore the LEGO Star Wars galaxy,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “It was an absolute pleasure to be part of the launch of the original LEGO Star Wars game and it’s equally exciting to now move the series forward and help create a new era of LEGO Star Wars games.”
As you may expect from a game that brings together 9 films, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features the biggest roster of playable characters in the LEGO Star Wars series including the greatest legends from every era of the Skywalker saga. You can fight against the forces of evil as favourite characters such as Luke Skywalker, Rey, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Finn, BB-8 and a legion of other heroes, or turn to the dark side as Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Kylo Ren, and more.
Further still, the greatest vehicles from across the galaxy will be available to command, letting you jump to lightspeed in the Millennium Falcon to outrun Imperial starships, battle First Order TIE fighters in Resistance X-Wings, or podrace on Tatooine.
“With the Skywalker saga coming to an end, we wanted to give fans the ultimate Star Wars video game experience with all the humour and charm that is uniquely LEGO,” said Douglas Reilly, Vice President, Lucasfilm Games. “LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will bring to life all those Star Wars adventures remembered and undiscovered in an epic culmination of all nine saga films as fans celebrate the closing of this chapter in Star Wars.”
