Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games have revealed that The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is headed to Nintendo Switch.
As you might expect, this new release is inspired by the upcoming movie, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. Based on events from the movie itself, the game sees alien invaders leaving Bricksburg in ruins. It's up to LEGO Movie stars Emmet and Lucy - as well as a whole host of other heroic LEGO characters - the go forth and save their friends from these unnerving inhabitants of the Systar System.
Arthur Parsons, Head of Design at TT Games Studios, has said the following:
“Packed with fan-favourite and exciting new characters, mysterious locations and action from both the sequel and the original blockbuster The LEGO Movie, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is a wild adventure for kids to explore. Players must scour the stars for rare items, materials and tools to complete their collections and help their journey across the LEGO universe, experiencing a wide array of amazing environments, wacky vehicles and incredible creatures along the way.”
We've also been treated to the first couple of screenshots for the game's release, as well as a look at the game box.
The game is set to launch on Switch and other platforms in 2019 alongside the movie.

I'm really looking forward to this movie. The original was way too good for what it should have been. That being said, knowing how Lego games dip in price after a few months I think I'll wait on this.
That boxart is terrible. The placement and size of the Logo alone is grating
@Bunkerneath 💙
@ryancraddock That GIF is kind of hurting my eyes the more i look at it though
I should probably watch the first movie...but my family's obsession with playing "Everything is Awesome" has put me off.
Not that it's a bad song, but by the 100th time the novelty disappears
Lemme guess, the game is going to suck.
@Bunkerneath Worth it. The Spaceship dude is absolutely my favourite moment of the entire movie.
@Bunkerneath #SpaceshipDudeForSmash!
@Joeynator3000 Lego games are always decently average from what I've played. They aren't amazing triple A experiences but they make for fun Co-op playthroughs.
"Packed with fan-favourite and exciting new characters, mysterious locations..." is not the vibe I'm getting from that pack shot!
That can't be the final pack shot, surely?!
@InklingLegend
Stop right there criminal scum!
No spoilers on my watch!!!
Hmmm. I love lego games and all, but I'll wait til a price drop or sale.
I hope their is a live action part in the second movie like the first one.
I hope Will Ferall or however you spell it will have a live action part in the second one with his son and his daughter playing with legos.
@InklingLegend
If you read above, you would see a few people havn't seen the movie. Just be careful about it.
really emit why you still wearing the same close you need a change just like some of the other characters.
There’s a dislike button now!!!
Movie trailer for Lego 2, releases in 3 months, Feb 2019.
@ryancraddock Don't know if this is worth mentioning in the article, but the game releases physically for all other platforms on February 26th and for the Switch on March 26th.
Looks like good silly fun!
And, I'd love a sillier title to go with a sequel to a film with a deadpan title.
Scary Movie 2 could've been 'Scarier Movie', or 'Scary Movie Sequel', and 'The LEGO Movie 2' could be 'The Second LEGO Movie', or even 'The Follow-Up to The LEGO Movie'.
I mean, Disney went with An Extremely Goofy Movie for the sequel to A Goofy Movie. Even if the film was less extreme. And far from as good. But it's the thought that counts.
I wonder why The LEGO Batman Movie didn't get a game. Oh well, looking forward to this one.
@RyanSilberman The Lego Batman Movie got a Story Expansion in Lego Dimensions instead of its own game
@MH4 Granted, but...I dunno. That seemed lame in comparison.
Don't get me wrong, I like Lego when I was young, as in physical toys.....but a Lego video game? Sorry but nope, never gonna play a Lego video game ever again....just doesn't appeals me.
ya know... this might be the first lego game I've played in a while
I was wondering where's Wreck it Ralph 2 Video Games.
Im very curious to see this, loved the first one
@IHateTombs Lots of people asked for a second LEGO Movie. Less than a year after it came about, rumors about its production were all over the internet. Plus, WB and Traveller’s Tales always capitalize on popular media with LEGO videogames (just look at LEGO Dimensions).
Rental as usual until some day they change the games entirely.
@ZeldaToThePast They probably won't change what consistently works for them, I'm afraid.
@dumdum Yeah, I know. It makes them money. It's a shame though.
