The widely popular toy brand Lego is reportedly expanding its video game business by licensing its IPs to another major video game publisher, 2K Games. The company, popular for publishing a host of sports video games every year, is reportedly working on the release of a Lego football and racing game.
The report comes exclusively from VGC, claiming that Lego and 2K Games have entered a multi-game agreement that allows the latter to publish new sports games that feature Lego figures. The Lego football game is rumored to launch in 2022 around the same time as the FIFA World Cup currently scheduled to run from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18 in Qatar.
Sumo Digital, known for developing a long list of sports games since the early 2000s, is reportedly working on the football title. While the use of Lego figures is a given, the report did not mention if the upcoming game will feature Lego characters based on real-life football athletes.
2K Games’ long-time developer Visual Concepts, most famously known for making the “NBA 2K” since 1999, is rumored to be the studio working on the Lego racing game with an open world environment. Not much information was said about this project, aside from a purported planned release in 2023.
The Lego and 2K Games agreement is also expected to produce a third sports game, but there was no release window mentioned about this title. It is in development at the moment, but the only detail reported was it will be “based on a major sports franchise.”
Lego has a long-standing partnership with the British studio TT Games, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The developer is set to deliver its new game “Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga” on Apr. 5. TT Games is expected to develop another Lego game after that, the same report claimed.
The sources also noted that Lego could continue working with TT Games and Warner after these projects. If the companies decide to continue their partnership, Warner is not expected to have the same exclusive rights to publish Lego video games.
