Lucasfilm Games announced today that the highly-anticipated LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will arrive on April 5, 2022 (check price at Amazon).
Coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga allows fans to play through all nine Episodes of the core saga, travel through hyperspace, and explore over 20 unlockable planets.
Players can experience an exciting mix of gameplay, from chaining attacks in lightsaber combat to space battles. You can also unlock and choose from over 300 characters, the most ever in a LEGO Star Wars game.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga lets players experience battles like never before in a LEGO game, as players can string different attacks together to form combo chains and fend off oncoming attacks.
New blaster controls and mechanics allow players to aim with precision and take cover to plot their next move or utilize the skills of a Jedi by wielding a lightsaber and using the power of The Force.
Players can traverse space using the galaxy map on their holoprojector to chart their course through the saga, progressively unlocking planets to explore along the way.
During space travel, players may engage in heroic dog fights against enemy ships, piloting legendary vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, Imperial TIE fighters, Rebel X-wings, and many more.
Once reaching their destination, players can choose to either continue onwards through the main story or explore and discover exciting quests and puzzles within the galaxy.
Exploration rewards players as they uncover Kyber Bricks, which unlock new features and upgraded abilities across a range of character classes, including Jedi, Hero, Dark Side, Villain, Scavenger, Scoundrel, Bounty Hunter, Astromech Droid, and Protocol Droid.
Play as iconic characters like Leia, Yoda, Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Poe, and over three hundred more unlockable characters from across all nine films in free-play mode to create fun, new adventures.
From the idyllic grassy hills of Naboo to the desert dunes of Jakku, the LEGO Star Wars galaxy is available to discover and play in. The trailer also reveals LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will feature Mumble Mode, an option that fans of the classic LEGO Star Wars games can toggle to replace all voices with mumbles!
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available now for digital pre-order. Consumers who digitally pre-order the game will receive early access to the Trooper Character Pack on launch day.
The pack will be available a month after launch for those who purchase the Character Collection (season pass with all seven character packs) or à la carte. Digital buyers can also unlock the Classic Obi-Wan Kenobi playable character that is not available for purchase à la carte.
The physical version of the Deluxe Edition will include an exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure, Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk.
