There has been massive anticipation for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The LEGO franchise has always been successful in other realms of media, from a film franchise that has seen praise from the likes of Hideo Kojima to the numerous amounts of videos games based on licensed properties. Further, of all the games, the LEGO Star Wars series has been seen as the most popular.
Star Wars has always been a massive hit in the realm of video games, but the LEGO series specifically has always maintained a strong following, with glowing praise for how much LEGO Star Wars has evolved over the years and how the LEGO series as a whole rarely drops in quality. The franchise looks to be reaching a new peak with The Skywalker Saga, a complete overhaul of the traditional LEGO game formula that tells the story of all nine Star Wars films with the same fun LEGO charm.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga seeks to be the most ambitious LEGO game yet, with multiple worlds to explore from across all the films and a robust combat system unlike any LEGO game before it, complete with an expansive skill tree system for several characters. Even though the game has not yet released, developer Traveller’s Tales has also revealed that the game will be receiving a season pass, with 7 DLC packs planned for the future, which will feature characters from The Mandalorian, Solo, and Rogue One.
However, even though the game is a few weeks out from its official release - with Traveller’s Tales recently declaring The Skywalker Saga has gone gold - new screenshots from the game have already leaked online. Twitter user @Shpeshal_Nick has shared a handful of the leaked screenshots that appear to depict scenes from Return of the Jedi, Attack of the Clones, and The Empire Strikes Back.
While these screenshots don’t share any new information about the game, as many trailers and behind the scenes videos for The Skywalker Saga have already revealed plenty, these screenshots still display what players can expect from the game once they get the chance to play it themselves. It’s also fun to witness the incredible detail that Traveller’s Tales has put into the game, and the screenshots are a great showcase of how far this franchise has come since its first entry.
Overall, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga appears to be another winning title in the series, and fans have plenty to look forward to once the game finally hits shelves next month.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga releases on April 5th for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
