No, we didn’t post anything about Halo 4 getting a release date. Or Call of Duty: Black Ops getting a sequel. Or The Elder Scrolls getting re-cast as an MMO (with a certain GameCola staffer on board!).
But this? This is news. According to a logo on a screener box of LEGOs sent to a variety of reviewers, Traveller’s Tales is hard at work on LEGO The Lord of the Rings.
Frodo shows off the One Armband.
So what do we know about the game?
- It’s based on The Lord of the Rings.
- It has something to do with LEGOs.
- The LEGO corporation insists that you capitalize the word “LEGO”; I’m sorry.
…That’s basically it! The full reveal isn’t rumored to happen until E3; until then, we’ll just have to make wild and inappropriate speculations about the game. Did you know that every pre-order of LEGO The Lord of the Rings comes with a real-life LEGO kit to let you build your very own One Ring? Did you know that they’re planning a day-one DLC crossover package with other LEGO properties, which lets you and your friends guide Frodo Baggins, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter and Batman through the greatest adventure of all time?
Edit: There’s a trailer now!
I wonder if we’ll ever see LEGO Meet The Feebles.
I do hope so.
I have an irrational disliking for all lego games. I’m not loving this news…
Yeah, I know the feel.
I would actually like it if at least 50% of the games out there were Legos. No more terrible voice acting, no more puzzles I can’t figure out…just me, my thematically appropriate weapon, and the destruction of EVERYTHING I SEE.
