LEGO games are a simple pleasure and I could really go for that sooner than later
Well, shoot ā another delay. And not necessarily a game I expected to be pushed back again.
TT Games planned to wrap up LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga by spring 2021, but as of today, the self-proclaimed ābiggest and best-ever LEGO gameā wonāt make that release window.
The developers noted on Twitter that they simply āneed more timeā ā but stopped short of sharing a revised target. Weāll hear more about the āupdated launch timing as soon as possible.ā

From everything TT Games has been saying about The Skywalker Saga (including the fact that there are several hundred playable minifigs and that means theyāre going to have to get a bit weird with character picks), it feels like a real culmination. I hope with more time, itās everything weāve been wanting.
If you havenāt been following the game much (or you just forgotā¦ I kind of did!), youāll be able to pick up the story and play at any point in the nine-movie timeline. Iām sure Iāll do the whole obsessed completionist thing either way ā this is a LEGO game, after all ā but I appreciate having that choice.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga may not be at the top of our most-wanted list for 2021, but you know what? Time away from LEGO games, the Star Wars franchise at large, and even just online discourse has done wonders for my interest in it. TT Games hasnāt had much to show of The Skywalker Saga lately ā maybe I shouldāve seen this delay coming? ā but just flipping through the screens right now, yeah, sure, I wanna trip some AT-ATs on Hoth for the easily hundredth-or-more time. Letās go.
Iām half-tempted to bust out Rogue Squadron II tonight. Itās in writing now so I canāt back out.
