Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Coming This Summer From Warner Bros

News: A Lego game featuring Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is currently in development and set to be released this summer.

Warner Bros has been teasing a big announcement for later on today but it appears that a listing on the Xbox store has spoiled the surprise. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is currently in development and is set to be released later this year. The description on the Xbox Store reads as follows:

”The Force is strong with this one… The No. 1 LEGO® videogame franchise triumphantly returns with a fun-filled, humorous journey based on the blockbuster Star Wars film. Play as Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Han Solo, and the rest of your favorite characters from the movie!

In LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, players relive the epic action from the blockbuster film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, retold through the clever and witty LEGO lens. The game will also feature exclusive playable content that bridges the story gap between Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens also introduces Multi-Builds and Blaster Battles to the LEGO videogame universe. With Multi-Builds, use available LEGO bricks to open up new paths, then break them apart and re-build them again to open up another! And another! During Blaster Battles, use your surroundings as cover to stand against the First Order. "

The release date appears to be June 28, 2016 according to the Xbox Store. That release date is kind of odd since it misses both the theatrical window and the blu ray release (rumored to be in April) but that is what is listed. Are you excited for a Lego Star Wars game based off of Episode VII? Will you be picking it up?
