LEGO MMOG Named and Given a Launch Window

Posted by Zonk on from the i'm-grinding-for-four-pip-blocks dept.

Kotaku has the press release expanding on details for LEGO Universe, the block-based Massively Multiplayer Game announced earlier this year. The title is slated for a Q4 release next year. There isn't any concrete discussion of gameplay yet, but the general description does sound promising: "The full-featured MMOG will be complete with character advancement, expansive social and community features, and will provide a child-safe alternative to other MMOGs on the market. As a player, you'll be able to customize your mini-figs and interact in the universe as any character you choose, providing unique opportunities for players to expand and explore with their creations."

    Kind of like your mom or dad slapping you across the head telling you not to smoke with a cigarette hanging out their mouth.
