Warner Bros. Announces Six More Years Of Lego Games

Warner Bros. announced today it will be renewing its partnership with TT Games to continue making LEGO games through 2016. If you’re asking yourself why they continue to make an endless stream of LEGO games, the answer is the franchise has already sold nearly 50 million units worldwide. If you’re asking yourself why people to continue to buy LEGO games, the answer is because they’re usually quite good.

“One of the things that sets the LEGO brand apart is that it allows kids to express their creativity...” says Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, vice president of LEGO Digital. “We are very excited to continue to work with TT Games because they take a distinctive approach to making games creative, social and non-violent, which makes them a valuable part of the broader LEGO experience.”

The press release didn't name any new titles, but reiterated that LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 will be out this year. If LEGO games continue down the path of allowing players to create their own objects and worlds out of digital building blocks, I’m all for it. Besides, by 2016 we’ll all probably be driving cars built out of LEGOs anyway.

  • The picture of the Lego character holding a mic look's like Burt Reynolds character in Boogie Nights. Now that would be an awesome game; "Lego Boogie Nights" Lego characters doing drugs and filming porn...sweet!

  • They simply MUST be running out of ideas. I can't wait until we get a lego fps *sarcasm*.

  • I am very happy about this. Personally, I love the LEGO games, and can't wait to see what Warner Bros. comes out with next. I hate "Harry Potter", but am still contemplating getting the LEGO version of the game, simply because it's LEGO.

    I have always been a fan of both LEGO and video games, so to me, the concept of combining the two hobbies is nothing short of genius.

  • I am grown man but the lego game are amazing...the star wars and indy

  • Lego's MMO is out or its going to be out very soon. The games are entertaining at best....I wouldnt call them good..but they are better then games like "velvet assassin" lol

  • The LEGO games are far from the best games ever, but they provide good entertainment that anyone can enjoy. Kids like them because of the LEGO aspect; adults like them for the humor and the gameplay. Personally, I like them for all of the above. I may be 27, but I still love putting together LEGO sets, and I love video games. Honestly, I'm surprised it took a company so long to combine the two. To me, it seems like a natural fit.

  • I think the LEGO MMO will be a surprise hit. With as popular as MMO games are right now, and the fact that getting to build the universe with LEGO pieces allows for a lot of imaginative freedom, I think people of all ages who are fans of either LEGO or the MMO genre will be pleased.

  • A LEGO FPS? I'd give that a go.

  • Lego games are always good.  =)  And is Harry Potter Years 1-4 not coming to PS3?  I don't see it listed.

  • Is that Lego Freddie Mercury on the home page?

  • I believe it is, from the "LEGO Rock Band" game.

  • people play those games?

  • Here are some movies/games that should be Lego-fied (not sure if that is a real word)

    Lego Grand Theft Auto

    Lego Final Fantasy

    Lego My Eggo

    Lego Left 4 Dead

    Lego of Zelda

    Lego Braveheart

    Lego Looney Tunes

    i can go on forever

  • Psychedub: Those are GREAT ideas. "LEGO GTA" would be hilarious, as would "LEGO Prototype". I'd say "LEGO Mass Effect", but it sounds like the new LEGO MMO is going to be just like that anyway.

    As for "LEGO-fied", I don't think it's a real world, but it definitely should be.

  • Lego Mass Effect would be so cool, aswell as GTA. Instead of blood and guts flying everywhere it would those lego heads and bodies. That would be hilarious.

  • Does anyone really need a LEGO version of games? Really? I think its a sad attempt at trying to get kids to buy games.

  • Instead of blood, the hookers could spill LEGO studs out of them when you run them over. :)

  • haha lego studs!! Nice!

    And lego Indiana Jones would make a cameo and you could run him over.

  • That's good news.It's a great series, my wife's kids love them and I'm sure when our two little ones get older I'm sure they will love them also.

  • @Wormpuke - Have you ever played a lego game?
