LEGO Universe Front Cover

Well we’re all waiting for it, the release of the new Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG), LEGO Universe!

No it’s not out yet, but now the official date of release is set for 26th October 2010. Whether this date will change, as it has done previously (I assume for technical issues of some kind), I’m not sure, but that’s the date that has been given so far.

Initially the game will be available in English and German and is currently in the Closed BETA stage of testing. Pre-ordering entitles the player to early access to the game from 12th October 2010, a 30-day subscription and a code to allow you to play as an astronaut.

Currently you can pre-order LEGO Universe on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

LEGO Universe Available for Pre-order

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

LEGO UniverseThe upcoming MMO, LEGO Universe is now available for pre-order on the LEGO website.

From what I’ve experienced on the BETA test, this game is set to be a hit! With plenty of opportunity for creation, players can build custom items such as pets, rockets and racing cars. The possibilities are endless!

Players can build, quest and socialise with each other, creating an entirely new online world. Using your custom design minifigure, you can help the minifigs defeat the Maelstrom (the dark menace attempting to destroy imagination).

LEGO Universe will require an internet connection and the first 30 days will be free. The game has no official release date as of yet, but should be available later this year.

Here we have another trailer for the upcoming MMOG, LEGO Universe!

As I have already mentioned, LEGO Universe is a game focused on building, creating, and playing the game using your creations. You create your own minifigure from the variety of heads, torsos and legs in the minifig creator at the very beginning of the game. However as the game progresses, you’ll be able to customise your minifig’s appearance and abilities even further by picking up cool accessories through collecting, building, earning or trading with other players.

Players also have the ability to customise the very worlds of LEGO Universe. You will be able to build in LEGO worlds of the past, present and future. Since players from all over the world will be enhancing and changing the world 24 hours a day, there will always be something new to see!

LEGO are set to release a new multiplayer online game (MMOG) in 2010 which will allow the player to design their own minifigure, play by guiding your created minifig through an ever evolving assortment of vitual worlds, build within the virtual space, and socialize with other LEGO fans from all over the world.

The game features an epic storyline about the origins of LEGO Universe and the minifigs that inhabit it. Minifigs can team up together to complete quests which will uncover new game zones, more building opportunities and undiscovered creative challenges!

Players are able to obtain more bricks to build with by completing challenges, defeating enemies, gathering goods, discovering treasures, and unlocking secrets within the game. You will be able to make your own bricks using Plastic (which will be the game’s currency).

LEGO Universe is set to feature play themes from LEGO sets, past and present, as well as entirely new figures and storylines. You will also be able to create your own original figures.

Players will be able to communicate with each other in game. There are also parental control features which will allow parents to control the amount of communication their children will be allowed within the game.

There is no actual release date so far, but LEGO Universe looks like a game not to be missed. I’m certainly looking forward to owning my own copy!

Check out the LEGO Universe website for a more detailed description.
