Warner Bros. Games has announced a release date for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

The game will be released for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC on April 5, 2022.

Alongside today’s announcement, Warner released a six-minute gameplay overview trailer, which you can watch below.

Covering the events of all nine Star Wars movies, The Skywalker Saga is developed by TT Games in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.

It will let players control hundreds of characters and vehicles, and begin the adventure in any of the nine episodes.

The game was originally announced for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch at E3 2019 but has since been delayed twice.

“Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features the biggest roster of playable characters in the Lego Star Wars series and players will engage in new ways of combat as they wield lightsabers, fire blasters, and chain different attacks with the greatest legends from every era of the Skywalker saga,” according to Warner.

“Players can fight against the forces of evil as favorite characters such as Luke Skywalker, Rey, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Finn, BB-8 and a legion of other heroes.

“The greatest space and land vehicles are also available to command. Players can jump to lightspeed in the Millennium Falcon to outrun Imperial starships, battle First Order TIE fighters in Resistance X-wings, or podrace on Tatooine.

“Players will be able to travel through hyperspace and explore planets that can be unlocked during their adventures. From the jungle moon of Ajan Kloss to the vibrant, city-covered planet Coruscant, the Lego Star Wars galaxy is yours to discover and play in.”
