DLCs Announced For ‘LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’
After several delays, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will finally be released on April 5, 2022. The game was first announced at Star Wars Celebration Chicago in 2019. As the name suggests, this game will give players the opportunity to relive all nine episodic Star Wars films in the typical wacky LEGO style. Each episode will consist of five levels where players will be able to unlock the various planets of the game. After that, they will be able to freely move between them, so there is no need to play the game in the chronological order of the movies. All the levels have been completely redone and are not just a collection of previous LEGO Star Wars games. Like before, players will be able to take control of dozens of characters, humans, aliens, and droids alike.
Roughly one month before the game finally hits the shelves, the powers behind LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm Games have revealed their plans for the DLCs that will be available at or shortly after the release of the game.
