Ambitious doesn't even begin to describe the scope of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. After 2016's The Force Awakens, TT Games won't just cover one core Star Wars movie. Instead, The Skywalker Saga will encompass all three trilogies and give players access to hundreds of characters to choose from and play as. Following months of silence, Lucasfilm Games just dropped a trailer for The Skywalker Saga and confirmed when it is going to be released.
According to Lucasfilm Games, The Skywalker Saga is going to come out on all major gaming platforms on April 5. In addition to confirming the release date, The Skywalker Saga also got an extended gameplay trailer that showcases all the unique environments from all nine of the core Star Wars movies, among others.
The Skywalker Saga's expansive scope is one of the biggest draws of the game. Once The Skywalker Saga hits the market, Star Wars fans can explore settings from the movies "in any order", which will allow everyone to go through "their own unique journey through the galaxy."
It has been a long time coming for The Skywalker Saga. TT Games originally announced the game back in 2019 and planned to release it in 2020. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, TT Games had to postpone the game's launch multiple times. Unfortunately, despite the delays, there are reports of TT Games subjecting employees to extensive crunch to push the game out and get it ready.
