Summary
A reputable leaker has spilled the beans on several new details about the rumoredLEGO Horizongame, such as its announcement date, the various modes it may offer, a surprising revelation about its launch platforms, and more. The reports of a newLEGOadaptation of PlayStation’s hallmarkHorizonseries have been intensifying over the past month, and a formal reveal appears to be imminent as even more information about the title has surfaced.
Introduced in 2017, theHorizonseries is relatively recent compared to other PlayStation marque franchises likeGod of WarandGran Turismo, but has undoubtedly become incredibly popular in that time. PlayStation has big plans to expand the franchise, withsix futureHorizonprojects in the makingand many more beyond that. The newly-rumoredLEGO Horizontitle is an unexpected venture for the series, but is shaping up to be interesting nonetheless.
Over the past month, manydetails about theLEGO Horizongame have leaked, most notably that it’ll basically be like the existingHorizongames but in aLEGOart style. Now, a new report from reliable insiderbillbil-kun writing for Dealabsreveals a plethora of potential new details surrounding the game, which will apparently be dubbedLEGO Horizon Adventures. The leaker claims that Sony Interactive Entertainment will be the publisher of the game, but didn’t elaborate on the studio developing it. Many speculate that it could be TT Games, owing to its expertise inLEGOgames for different franchises, but there’s no telling yet.
A Formal Announcement Could Be On the Horizon
The leaker also suggests thatLEGO Horizon Adventureswill be revealed at theupcoming Summer Game Fest livestream, which is set to air on June 7. Pre-orders for standard and “deluxe” editions will seemingly go live right after the presentation as well, possibly hinting at a late 2024 release window. More interestingly, though, the report alleges thatLEGO Horizon Adventureswill release on PS5 and PC simultaneously, and that the game can apparently be played solo or co-op, with crossplay for the latter. The leaker also makes note of an intriguing “in-app purchases” section in the game, but is unsure of what it implies.
While knowledge of theLEGO Horizonproject has been circulating for a while, the rumors of a day one PC release for a non-live-service title may contradict Sony’s recentconfirmation of tentpole single-player titles releasing on PS5 firstand making their way to PC in subsequent years. The report also notes thatLEGO Horizon Adventures' alleged day and date PC release also means that it’ll require a PSN account on the platform, barring it from sale in over 170 countries. WhileLEGO Horizon Adventuresdoes appear interesting, Sony’s confusing strategy for PC releases needs to be further addressed.
