The long-awaited LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is almost here! Here’s everything we know about the ultimate Lego Star Wars game.
When fans heard the announcement that TT Games were developing a LEGO Star Wars game that encompasses the entire, nine-episode Skywalker Saga, they were understandably thrilled.
LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens offered everyone an exciting insight into the future of LEGO Star Wars games, but was not followed by The Last Jedi. Thankfully though, it won’t be long before fans can experience that adventure and countless more in the upcoming release.
What makes this entry unique to the series is, reportedly, players can choose to start and play through the levels of any of the nine films first!
Below is everything we know about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars game…
Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Release Date
After undergoing some changes, the release date is now scheduled some-time in the Spring 2021 window. This could, of course, be subject to change given the fact that we haven’t got an official release date yet.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, which focused primarily on the events of Episode I, Episode II, and Episode III, released on 29 March 2005. It would be a nice homage to the original title if this was when LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is released, but we don’t know for sure.
What Platforms Will It Be On?
Currently, LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is listed to release on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
Multiplayer Options
So far, we know that this title will follow series tradition and include local co-op play. However, there is no word on whether online multiplayer co-op will be added.

Level Information
So far, we know that LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga will have at least 45 levels. Each of the nine Star Wars Episodes will be divided into 5 levels, however there will also be explorable hub spaces throughout similar to LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens.
Across these levels and hubs, players will be able to 23 different planets with a total of 28 unique locations.
“ If you have a favourite Star Wars location, it’s pretty likely you can visit it in-game.”
Dawn McDiarmid, Lead Hub Designer, TT Games
Random encounters and collectibles will both be included in these hub spaces in an effort to round-out the linear level design that features heavily in LEGO Star Wars games.

“ Quite frankly, this game is massive because it had to be.”
Craig Derrick, Managing Producer, Lucasfilm Games
All the Confirmed Characters So Far
Recently, it has been confirmed that the game will feature around 800 characters. While not all of them will be playable, it is reported that most of them will be.
“It’s the fact that the whole cast is brought together, uniquely in this LEGO form — the complete collection, from Admiral Ackbar to Zorii Bliss — which makes the game so special.”
