Lego 2K Drive has now been officially announced, and Eurogamer has gone hands-on with the colourful kid-friendly mix of Forza Horizon and Mario Kart.
Publisher 2K has also now unveiled the game's three editions, including the eye-popping £100 Lego 2K Drive Awesome Rivals Edition, which costs $120/€120 elsewhere.
This version includes the game's Year 1 Drive Pass, which adds a new biome to explore, plus «four individual post-launch seasons of Drive Pass content, each with new vehicles and themes». In addition to that, there's multiple new vehicles, a vehicle flair, and in-game Lego minifigures.
Other versions of the game include the Awesome Edition, which is slightly cheaper at £85/$100/€100. This includes the Year 1 Drive Pass, but only one additional new vehicle and minifigure.
Then there's the regular ol' Standard Edition, which will cost £60/$70/€70 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, or £50/$60/€60 on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. This just includes the main game.
There doesn't seem to be any option to upgrade between editions.
Finally, there's a pre-order incentive: the Aquadirt Racer Pack — which you'll get in exchange for putting your money down before launch day (or alternatively will come included regardless in the game's two pricier special editions).
