Sometime in the second half of 2010, Lego fans will be able to indulge in their red, blue, yellow, and white brick fantasies together, no matter where they are. That's because, after more than two years of development, Lego Universe, the first massively multiplayer online game based on the iconic toys, is expected to be ready then.
"In Lego Universe, you will discover a world that sparks the imagination, full of opportunities to build, play, and interact with Lego fans from all over the globe," reads an information sheet for the game. "Build anything you can dream up, and help shape the constantly evolving Lego Universe through adventure, exploration and battle."
Part traditional online role-playing game, part giant sandbox, the game is primarily geared toward kids but is also meant for any fans who can't get enough Lego, and who want to take that interest into the realm of questing, sharing, and exploring.
