LEGO Universe not clicking together in 2009
We've got bad news for all the LEGO maniacs out there, who've been looking forward to LEGO Universe in 2009. They're going to have to wait a bit longer for NetDevil's take on massively multiplayer LEGO play, according to Kotaku's Brian Crecente, who reports that LEGO Universemay not even see a 2010 release date.
Despite the economic troubles many MMO developers are coping with these days, this news about LEGO Universe is not necessarily a bad thing. Kotaku spoke with the director of business development for the LEGO group, Mark Hansen, who said, "Within the company we have made a strategic decision within LEGO to make a delay of LEGO Universe. It will not be coming out in 2009. The reason is, we have a luxury right now, the business is going good. We have products that are not digital, the physical products, with them going so well we don't want to take focus away from them."
In the meantime, development of LEGO Universe is moving ahead and there may indeed be more additions to the title's initial release. Still, if you're gutted by this news, you might want to check out the full story on the LEGO Universe delay in Brian Crecente's piece at Kotaku.
