Lego games have always had an incredibly charming niche and that is set to only get bigger with The Skywalker Saga later this year. With multiplayer fun at the heart of the experience, here's what you should know before its release.
Latest - Release Date Announced
We will finally see Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga release on April 5th this year and it will come with every major movie in the Star Wars universe.
After years of waiting, it's finally almost here.
Characters in The Skywalker Saga
TT Games (developers) have said the game will feature “every
Star Wars character you can think of”.

This will be in Free Play where you can play any mission with any character. However, you are likely to play with every character in the main story at some point.
This will include characters from the original series like Old Obi-Wan to characters in The Rise of Skywalker, such as Rey and Ben Solo.

Co-op Gameplay
Playing with friends is a large part of Lego games. Thus, we can expect to see local co-op gameplay included in The Skywalker Saga.
WITH FRIENDS OR FOE - Will you be with the Light or the Dark?
However, online gameplay isn’t definite as of yet. There are ways to get around this on PC.
But there's nothing integrated into any of the Lego Star Wars games which allow you to play online.
We are still waiting for an announcement or any news
regarding this, but for now, we should assume this feature is not included at
release.
