Minecraft has often been described as virtual Lego, and we've even had crossover Lego sets based on the popular video game. However, it now looks like the Danish toymaker is taking on Mojang directly with its own world-building title.
The flyer shown above apparently shipped inside a new Lego toy set, and appears to show the next Lego video game. Dubbed Lego Worlds, this release is different from the forthcoming Lego Dimensions as it has a clear focus on building and creation, rather than using NFC-powered toys.
In case you were wondering, visiting the URL shown in the top-right corner of the flyer currently results in a "Page Not Found" message.
If this is the real deal rather than an elaborate fake - and the game is coming to the Wii U - then it could be the closest thing Nintendo fans will get to Minecraft. TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive have yet to comment on the rumour, but then again, neither company was particularly quick to discuss the leaks surrounding Lego Dimensions, either.

that would actually be pretty cool
childhood rewind - here we go
i'm just wondering why this took so long
Back with another one of those block rocking beats!
...sorry. Still, this is interesting. I see potential. I guess my long lost dream of having a "LEGO Racers" reboot will have to take a back seat.
We don't even know if Lego Dimensions has a creativity element similar to Disney Infinity yet
Why would they do this when you can go buy and use the real thing?
I'm guessing this is a hoax but if it's not one thing will be certain. "Coming to all home consoles except WiiU" 😂
That'd be the closest thing to Minecraft on Wii U (hopefully) ever.
Well the one thought I've always had in my head whenever I see Minecraft is, Why hasn't Lego made a Lego version of Minecraft? It could be even bigger than Minecraft if done right, so this just seems like it's going to print money imo (if it's true).
Mildly surprised this didn't happen when the Wii was king.
IF this is real I hope it's better than LEGO Creator
Hopefully this will be better than Megablock Craft.. I mean Minecraft.
This seems fake to me. Why have a website that doesn't go anywhere? Seems a bit odd. Plus why is there apparently only one person to have received this flyer. Also I find the font a bit odd.
But that's just me. Hopefully it is real, but I doubt it.
Is the dinosaur game called "Lego Jurassic WORLD"? Why make 2 games w/ practicallly the sane name? And between Dimensions, JW and Avengers isnt that enough Lego games? How many development teams does tT have?
I would believe this was real as a website browser thing like Roblox or a smart device app, but it seems like there are already enough, if not more than enough, Lego games on consoles.
But Im sure my kids would buy it in whatever form it took.
So many Lego games...
Isn't that what that LEGO MMO was supposed to be like? I don't even know if that game ever came out or not, that was a long time ago.
@Kirk An actual LEGOcraft game would have to end up being a lot more limited than Minecraft, though, since the pieces come in so many different shapes and sizes Also, assuming they don't go with the retro visual aesthetic (or at least something akin to Lego Star Wars DS), the polycount would be pretty huge.
I've been waiting a long long time for this to happen. Don't F it up.
Time will tell, but i do hope so. Wii U is lacking in this style of game currently.
Closest thing to minecraft? Just how original are we expecting Ucraft cube life and stone shire to be lol
@Asaki Good points but I still want to see it happen.
I guess there's no real reason Lego couldn't just go with a couple of sets of simple blocks, rather than all the various custom shaped ones etc, and then it shouldn't really be much different from Minecraft in that respect. True about the exact visual representation of the Lego blocks though; if you really want them to look like actual Lego blocks (there might be a way to do it via textures/shaders however). Also; it's only really the top layer of blocks that have to show the "Lego block" look, so it's probably not as big a deal as it sounds; especially if they can cheat slightly.
Finally, a Lego game where to the entite game world is made of Lego! Add in a nice singleplayer story and local MP building and I'm in.
Minecraft: so popular that indie developers make knock-off minecraft game on nintendo console
@DarthNocturnal Never got around to playing the second... but just thinking of the possibilities of a current gen one... damn, I almost wish they weren't spending all their resources on the upcoming "Dimensions".
With the upcoming release of Lego Jurassic World, Lego Dimensions, Lego Marvel Avengers, it's hard to believe that they actually have another Lego game coming too. I'm just waiting for a New Lego Kart Racing game and a Lego Spongebob game...keep 'em coming!
Could be interesting if true
But im still waiting for Legoland 2 - the Wii U and Gamepad would be a perfect use for the game
really?
this sounds like the whole sony vs nintendo thing considering both TT games AND lego have pertnership with mojang and TT games was making a minecraft story mode.
I don't even think that it'd do justice to this game to compare it that much with Minecraft. If it's finally, actually a true LEGO-based world builder (or rather the first since a very long time), this would play quite differently.
Good ol' Traveller's Tales
That would be cool but I feel this is a fake...
The potential is strong with this one. Will have to keep it on my radar.
That's actually really clever but they should be working on Lego City Undercover 2
Now, why do we think it would come out on the Wii U?
Maybe that flyer was for a PS4, or an Xbone.
This has massive potential, but it's problematic on a technical level if you start imagining it on the level of Minecraft-style flexibility. Wii U probably couldn't cut it, for instance, at least the way I'm imagining it would work best.
Lego needs to develop a box that you can drop your own Lego creation into that can accurately scan how it was made into your computer. Then, give some great tools to play with what you have made, share it, etc. That would be the ideal symbiotic relationship between game and toy, IMO.
Please oh please oh please let this be a thing!!!!!!
I think something like this could outshine Minecraft if done right. All those different shapes and sizes would really make the toy box endless.
@Laxeybobby reall thing = owned by M$ = NFTY
