TT Games' LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga looks to reinvent the LEGO Star Wars franchise with a comprehensive culmination of all 9 theatrical installments. In such a massive undertaking, it is unsurprising that it was delayed as many times as it was, especially considering that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga completely redefines each individual entry with new combat, cameras, mechanics, and visuals.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was originally believed to release in October 2020 before it was delayed to Spring 2021. But when that time rolled around, TT Games announced another delay to ensure its quality was where it was expected to be. The release window of Spring 2022 was announced thereafter, and a release date followed it with April 5 scheduled for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's release. Now, it has been shared that this release date is concrete and fans can finally anticipate its launch in a couple of months.
After a reportedly tumultuous development with extensive crunch at TT Games, it was recently announced that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has officially gone gold and is ready to ship. The wait has certainly been long since it was initially announced, but LEGO Star Wars fans will surely be pleased to hear this release date confirmed and set in stone. Further, there are many new features that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has to offer fans of the prolific series, whether fans are returning to the franchise or are enticed by all the new mechanics it has showcased.
LEGO Star Wars is approachable for LEGO and Star Wars fans of any age, with kid-friendly controls and visuals interpreting the science-fiction franchise. But LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga demonstrates a significant improvement to all facets of gameplay that the previous LEGO Star Wars entries lacked. Each of the 9 installments will be fully fleshed out with an abundance of planets to explore and 300 characters to play as in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will likely be a definitive game for fans with non-linearity in terms of how players wish to approach different levels or movies in the franchise. There are many other Star Wars titles currently in development that have yet to receive release windows or dates themselves, but fans can rejoice with the news of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's official gold status and its release in April.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is scheduled to release on April 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
