Coming September 22nd

Trailer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l33IYMlyOOA

That's two big LEGO games super close together.

Geek.com has a bit more info:

The LEGO NINJAGo Movie Video Game will have eight levels that are featured in The LEGO NINJAGO Movie. Users can play as several young heroes who must stop the fiendish Lord Garmadon and his Shark Army from taking over their home island. They can achieve their ultimate goal by using Ninjagility. This allows the characters to wall-run, high-jump, and fight the bad guys in true ninja fashion. You can see some of the ninja-tastic action in the trailer below.

Every location in the game will have its own Challenge Dojo. Here, players will fight off increasingly powerful opponents. There will also be Battle Maps where players can fight against each other in four different game modes. This feature supports local split-screen for up to four players. Local co-op on a title like this seems like a no-brainer, so its great that it has been included.

Goody! The more legos the better.

panda-zebra · Jun 29, 2017

Not entirely sure what kind of game it'll be from that trailer other than not the usual Lego game, but keep turning that handle to churn them out and I'll keep picking them up when they're cheap.

D'aw! This is the last thing I was working on before I left TT Fusion. It's nice to see that it's been announced now.

Father_Brain · Jun 29, 2017

Guessing this began development as a level pack for Lego Dimensions.

Congrats!

So this is by TT Fusion as with LEGO City Undercover? Awesome.

Thought there had to be multiple teams going due to LEGO Marvel 2 launching so close to this

and surely a LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in preproduction at least

Yeah, those guys, although a lot of the staff is different these days. For a start, I'm not there.

As for SPOILER, I couldn't say either way. But it's weird being on the outside now as I'm really kinda' looking forward to seeing what Fusion put out...

Looks interesting.

EDarkness · Jun 29, 2017

I wish they would have shown some real gameplay. I have no idea what's going on. Could be fun.

It's a bummer that it didn't stay a level/story pack. I was really hoping they'd keep good on their three year promise for Dimensions, but all signs indicate that they're abandoning ship and ending the product early. Sucks, I really enjoyed Dimensions. It was the perfect game to play (and build) with my nephews and niece

and inner child

At least they're still delivering all the content they announced last year, which I don't think Disney Infinity was able to do.

There was a trailer for it before Lego Batman and it actually looks like it'll be as good as the two Lego movies before it.
I hope the game is equally decent in the modern Lego games tradition. They're so great to just chill with.

AndrewDean84xX · Jun 29, 2017

Might have to buy. My daughter loves Ninjago. She wasn't too happy with the idea of the new movie not using the same art style as the show. I was trying to tell her the movie looks way better in quality. She wasn't having it. It looked different, so it was bad, lol.

Kids.

Ya know, I had been wondering what becomes of Fusion in a world with no more underpowered handhelds.

Is the switch version coming later? A bit of space from Pokemon would actually suit me lol but everywhere I'm looking (including my Preorder) is saying Nov 14th?

Including Undercover, that's 4 Lego games in less than a year.

Cheers dude that's really helpful. I double checked and my preorder for the switch version is showing as the 17th. I was trying to figure what the logistics of buying that and a couple of copies of Pokemon that same week were going to be, that'll give some nice breathing room haha

And yea, really nice support by the Lego franchises, we bought them all on the Wii U too. It'll be interesting to see how Worlds runs, it was a pretty heavy power hog on the PC during early access.

Turnstyle · Jun 30, 2017

Great news, this will be one to look out for. While I appreciate that the Lego games are pretty saturated, they're great for young players, who rarely seem to be catered to these days.

My son has played Lego City Undercover to death - such a fantastic game.

Really amazed they never bothered putting out a Lego Batman Movie tie-in - seemed like an obvious choice.

See that one did get a LEGO Dimensions expansion, but a full standalone game would have been excellent

Ah, right.

Never got into the Lego Dimensions stuff, even though it would be a hit in our house. Put off by the cost and all those packs...

Yeaaa. We bought it but honestly, we love most of the other games, and kind of found it lacking. The kid ended up just playing with the minifigures as actual minifigures and all three of us agreed the game was lacking. And it was a huge extra cost over the regular games. I feel bad for folks that bought in if this game for example really has been cut from Dimensions and they're abandoning it, but at the same time I think they had a much better thing going before. I thought the games that dropped during the Dimensions stuff were a bit rougher too.

Yeah, it's great. These are quality games albeit repetitive if you play them one after another. But great additions to the library.

Now I'll have to decide which Lego game to get my cousin for Christmas. He loves Super Heroes but also Ninjago. 🤔

Bought it for my son today

I posted a video of the opening prologue of the game. It's the Switch version.
