LEGO Minifigures Online Intro Trailer

December 17, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

IGN has released a new trailer for the LEGO Minifigures Online game. They have also interviewed Executive Producer Lawrence Poe and asked how this game will be different from other LEGO games including the failed LEGO Universe. One such difference is that LEGO Minifigures Online is a free to play game and not a subscription based game.

Accessibility is key for this game, so we’re trying to make it as easy as possible to get into the game and have fun. Obviously there will be a lot of younger players for this game so we are taking our time to ensure that we will provide the best experience for those young players and their parents both in terms of gameplay and the business model.

Lawrence also talks about the main objectives of the game, to find minifigures and using them on your adventure. Not only will you be looking for minifigures, there will also be a building aspect to the game.

The focus is on the minifigures and their adventures through fantastical worlds. The key aspect of the game is finding minifigures, learning to use their abilities in the best possible way, training your minifigures to become more powerful, and going through these cool worlds completing quests, defeating cool dungeon bosses and really just exploring and having fun. Building is also an important part of the game, and its primary function is to support the adventuring experience. You’ll come across piles of LEGO bricks that can be assembled into contraptions that can help you defeat a
