LEGO Launches a Minecraft Competitor On Steam

Posted by samzenpus on from the original-builders dept.

An anonymous reader writes: There's been plenty of rumors that LEGO was developing a competitor to Minecraft, and today they released it on Steam. "Lego Worlds enables you to populate your worlds with many weird and wonderful characters, creatures, models, and driveable vehicles, and then play out your own unique adventures," the game's Steam page explains. Unlike "Minecraft," LEGO's new game won't have multiplayer gameplay yet.

    And I'm surprised the Minecraft company didn't prohibit this with a non-compete as part of licensing the Lego Minecraft sets.

    My son still jumps into Minecraft, but always when he's hanging with his friends online.

    Multiplayer is what made Minecraft a phenomena, because players share in the creation.
