Lego is partnering with
2K for a new line of Lego sports games, VGC understands.
The publisher has signed a new multi-game partnership with Lego, people with knowledge of its plans told us, as the construction toy firm looks to broaden its games output beyond the expiration of its exclusivity deal with
Warner Bros.’ TT Games.
2K’s Lego sports line will kick off with a football/soccer game developed by
Sumo Digital, VGC understands.
This will be followed by an open-world Lego racing game currently in development at
WWE 2K22 studio
Visual Concepts, we were told. This is the same title
mentioned in job listings last week as an “open world driving game with a major license”.
The football title should release later this year to coincide with the FIFA World Cup, followed by the racing game in 2023. A third Lego sports title is also in development, based on a major sports franchise, sources said.
