After almost three years from the announcement, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is finally releasing. After being delayed several times, the game is finally releasing this April. Well, not too soon, however, it is coming in just three more months. And, this time it is confirmed. We also got a new extensive trailer that delves into the game’s details. It states this game will be the largest, and the biggest Lego video game ever. This is very much right, after all, the newer the game of a series is, the larger, bigger, and most of the time, the better it is.

This might seem like good news, which it is. However, something else came up that kind of left a sour taste in the mouths of many. This is due to the crunch, and the poor working conditions that the developers had to face. The developers at TT Games were under heavy pressure and had to face a lot mentally. This is kind of sad to know. The game has been delayed countless times as we have said before. Crunch and the severe working conditions did not really help this all that much. Various current and former developers stated that the employees were made to work over 80 hours and six days a week during these crunch periods.

Anyway, moving back to the topic of the game itself, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker SAga is releasing on April 5, 2022. As for the platforms, it will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles. For those of you wondering what will be the new features that will be introduced in this game, there will be quite a number of them. One of the changes, that we found quite intriguing is that the game’s focus will be more on space travel, and combat. This coupled with the precise controls, and combo system will make combat more enjoyable than any Lego game ever. Furthermore, there is also a fun mode which is called the mumble mode. With this mode, the cutscene voices will be changed to older Lego game’s styled voice.

According to Polygon, the reason for all these crunches and severe working conditions is the decision of the developers to build the game on a new engine, instead of using the tried and tested Unreal Engine. Well, at least, things are improving. TT Games has said that for future projects, Unreal Engine is what they will be using, and they will also improve the working conditions at the studio.
