Lego 2K Drive is an upcoming Lego-based racing game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K. It is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2023, for Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S.

Gameplay

Lego 2K Drive is a racing game played from a third-person perspective. The game is set in Brickmania, which consists of a number of regions which can be freely explored by players. In addition to completing the story, players can complete different mini-games and challenges in the game's world. In the game, players can create their vehicles with 1,000 LEGO pieces, though more conventional options, such as those from Lego City and Lego Creator are also available. Vehicles can also transform. For instance, a land-based vehicle can transform into a boat when it was driven into water. The game also features destructible environment. The game also includes both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.[1] Two-player split-screen and six-player online play will also be available.[2]

Development

While TT Games developed most Lego games, Lego 2K Drive was developed by Visual Concepts, which is mostly known for creating basketball games. Members of the team had experience working on racing games such as Hydro Thunder and San Francisco Rush. Lego 2K Drive marked the beginning of a multi-game deal between The Lego Group and 2K Games. Development of the game took about five years. According to the team, the game was intended to be a casual and approachable experience. Creative director Brian Silva added that 2K Drive was designed to be more than just a "racing game", as it encourages players to build their vehicles, explore the game's world and complete various side activities.[3][4]

Announced in March 2023, the game is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2023, for Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S.[5] Visual Concepts planned to support the game with additional downloadable content upon launch.[6]
