LEGO Sports Games & Open-World Racer Reportedly In Development With 2K
The LEGOfamily of games will seemingly be expanding into the sports game sector with LEGO sporting games and a new racer, according to a report. The LEGO brand has been featured heavily in video games for years, serving up family-friendly LEGO versions of Lord of the Rings, The Avengers, Star Wars, and more.
LEGOgames have been developed exclusively by Warner Bros.'s TT Games since the original LEGO Star Wars games back in the 2000s. Since that time, the developer has tackled a number of popular IPs, though the entire body ofLEGO games can generally be described as third-person action-adventure games with a fun, wholesome twist.

While these games have remained somewhat mechanically simple over the years, the franchise has evolved by way of enhanced visuals, modern gameplay features, and more cinematic storytelling. The games even made the transition from non-verbal cutscenes to traditional voice acting following LEGO Batman 2.
