Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games Combine an Action-Adventure Journey and LEGO Building for a One-of-a-Kind Experience with The LEGO® Movie Videogame

Enter the Most Fantastical World of LEGO Building Where Gamers Can Turn the Ordinary Into the Extraordinary With an All-New and Unique Digital Master Building Ability

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The fate of the LEGO® world lies in your hands! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games today announced that The LEGO Movie Videogame will be available in 2014 alongside the much-anticipated “The LEGO Movie,” from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, and a toy collection of “The LEGO Movie” building sets.

“Players will be taking on the ultimate mission to save the LEGO world and use their virtual building prowess to build unimaginable sets and creations.”
The LEGO® Movie Videogame will be released for Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 4® and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, the Wii U™ system and Windows® PC, as well as Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system and PlayStation® Vita handheld entertainment system.

In a scenario drawn from the film, The LEGO Movie Videogame puts LEGO kids into the role of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Players guide him as he is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

“We’re thrilled to be able to give kids the joy of reliving Emmet’s adventures in becoming virtual Master Builders with The LEGO® Movie Videogame,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “Players will be taking on the ultimate mission to save the LEGO world and use their virtual building prowess to build unimaginable sets and creations.”

In The LEGO® Movie Videogame players will be able to collect and use LEGO instruction pages to build construction sets or harness the awesome power of the Master Builders to virtually build extraordinary LEGO creations along the way. With more than 90 characters inspired by the film and 15 exciting levels, kids can build and adventure like never before.

I know everybody was waiting for that.

Some screens too:

 

[Toa TAK]

Awesome. I knew they weren't going to pass this one up.

 

[Tagg9]

Videogame based off of a movie which is based off of Traveler's Tales LEGO videogames which is based off of the original toys?

 

[Aquamarine]

I am pumped to play the official video game of LEGO Movie titled LEGO Movie the Video Game.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Watched a trailer for this a few weeks ago. Doesn't look awful.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Videogame based off a movie based off Traveler's Tales LEGO videogames based off toys?

We've come full circle.

 

[chickdigger802]

Never heard of this movi....

Liam Neeson as Bad Cop

K I'll be there.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Just rolls off the tongue.

 

[Platy]

Videogame based off of a movie which is based off of Traveler's Tales LEGO videogames which is based off of the original toys?

Can't wait for the Lego sets based on this game !

 

[De-mon]

I am pumped to play the official video game of LEGO Movie titled LEGO Movie the Video Game.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Its like some kind of weird Lego Inception. Except real.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Neat. I wonder what it will be like.

 

[massoluk]

Videogame based off of a movie which is based off of Traveler's Tales LEGO videogames which is based off of the original toys?

No, you meant Videogame based off a movie based off Traveler's Tales LEGO video games, based of original toys crossing over with other original media franchises that were based on movies.

 

[Deszaras]

Please let it be similar to Lego Undercover with improvements...

 

[Black Door]

Hopefully this will be Lego City for those of us who didn't want to get a WiiU for one game

 

[batbeg]

We've come full circle.

I believe that only occurs when you buy an actual lego which has a dlc code for use on the videogame based on the movie based on the games based on the toys.

 

[Mpl90]

There's a joke that reminds me of a Disney Channel show aired many years ago...The Weekenders. It was an arcade game called "______: The Movie: The Game" It's the same here, basically XD

 

[mrklaw]

will be released for Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft

this is a thing? Will press releases from publishers have to include this dirge every time they mention Xbox one? Wow.

 

[2+2=5]

The lego movie videogame is an (unintentional?)hilarious title.

 

[hawk2025]

Why is it a thing to call the X1 the "all-in-one entertainment and games system" on every press-release?

Is that its actual official name?

Anyways, do we know how TT's developers shake out? Any way to know if the Lego City Undercover people are the ones working on this?

 

[massoluk]

this is a thing? Will press releases from publishers have to include this dirge every time they mention Xbox one? Wow.

Wow, I missed this. I knew I have seen this phrase before. So it's not a one-off. This will really get annoying.

 

[Father_Brain]

this is a thing? Will press releases from publishers have to include this dirge every time they mention Xbox one? Wow.

Evidently. It's been in every press release I've seen for a game coming to the platform.

 

[plagiarize]

I like how the logo makes it look like it's called LEGO: The Lego Movie Videogame.

 

[ColdBlooder]

A new Lego Game by TT games? After Lego Batman 2 and Lego City (And the really promising Avengers Lego game)? -> Im excited.

 

[Pyrrhus]

A few more layers of recursion and the universe will collapse.

 

[Jim]

Some screens too:

 

[Snowden's Secret]

I had never heard of this movie until I saw a trailer for it preceding Despicable Me 2.

Holy fuck I've needed this movie my entire life.

 

[jediyoshi]

Wonder if it tries to do the stop motion look of the film or will just animate like the other lego games.

 

[evilromero]

Will TT actually make the world out of Lego this time?

 

[chickdigger802]

Some screens too:

lego environments in a TT game? i'ts been a while.

 

[Kiraly]

Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft

 

[Krilekk]

Hopefully this will be Lego City for those of us who didn't want to get a WiiU for one game

But it's worth it. Of course you have to sell the console afterwards.

 

[plagiarize]

Will TT actually make the world out of Lego this time?

Looks that way.

 

[MikeE21286]

Holy hell it's on everything....


Probably leads on PS360

 

[nampad]

Time to masterbuild.
Vita is probably getting a bad up-port again

 

[Mpl90]

Holy hell it's on everything....


Probably leads on PS360

Nope, it's not on DS.

FINALLY!!! :lol

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Hopefully this will be Lego City for those of us who didn't want to get a WiiU for one game

Sounds like its not open-world. They use the words fellowship, epic quest and journey. Its most likely linear levels from the movie.

 

[Dennis]

Lego the Toy the Movie the Videogame

 

[Pyrrhus]

I wonder what style they're going to animate the characters in. In TT's existing Lego games, they use a lot of squash and stretch to animate the characters, but based on the movie trailer, it looks like the animators there decided to emphasize the rigid nature of a Lego toy's movement and tried to replicate the look of a stop motion movie.

 

[Aostia]

it reminds me A LOT of Undercover...mmmmm, so good.

 

[Aquamarine]

this is a thing? Will press releases from publishers have to include this dirge every time they mention Xbox one? Wow.

[ASTROID2]

Is Lego Movie the Video Game the name of the movie or the game? Is this a video game and a movie? I'm so confused.

 

[BuzzJive]

I imagine people have already seen the movie teaser trailer, but I had to go hunt it down to see what this was.

[Goldrusher]

Is Lego Movie the Video Game the name of the movie or the game? Is this a video game and a movie? I'm so confused.

movie: The LEGO Movie
game: The LEGO Movie Videogame

 

[ASTROID2]

movie: The LEGO Movie
game: The LEGO Movie Videogame

Ah. Got it.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Aren't people getting sick of the LEGO franchise by now? It's more formulaic than Call of Duty.

 

[waypoetic]

I just want a Lego toybox on my PS3.. Apparently that's too much to ask for.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft

This phrase gets better of the game uses Kinect!

 

[ASTROID2]

It's weird for Microsoft they write practically a novel that it's coming to the console "Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft" and for Nintendo they say "the Wii U".

Edit: I see it's been mentioned already. lol
