LEC to Eidos: No LEGO Star Wars 2 for you! 03 Feb, 2006, 23:18 / 10 comments

By jp-30


After taking on all the risk on the quirky LEGO Star Wars game last year and pulling off an estimated amazing 3 million units in worldwide sales, publishers Eidos have been cut out of the action on the recently revealed LEGO Star Wars 2 (Original Trilogy) game according to this report on IGN.

A glarey magazine scan confirming details of the game (building your own vehicles, fully customisable playable characters etc.) featuring a LEGO X-Wing skimming the Death Star surface and a wonderful homage to the original iconic Hildebrandt Star Wars poster is being pulled from various gaming and LEGO sites by crack legal teams right now. You may still find it floating around various forum threads if you're lucky.

    Well, it seems that nobody has corrected the news, but Eidos WILL BE the publisher again. It's official.
    ;)

    Could you please post a link to the source of that? It's contrary to every other article I've read on the subject.

    I'll review the sequel once the screenshots are released

    Yes, Lego Star Wars was one of the best Star Wars games to come out recently. And as I played it, I wished it was Lego versions of the "original trilogy". And now, my wishes have come true...Except that one about Lucas Arts making something without the word "Star" or "Wars" in the title.

    I can understand why they'd cancel a Sam and Max sequel, but Lego Star Wars 2?! Seriously.

    Waiddaminute? Do you thik LEC have canmcelled the game? No, no, no!

    They've just decided to publish it themselves, and not left it in the hands of a 3rd party publisher (ie Eidos) this time around.

    Oops, so much for my reading comprehension skills. (I'll blame it on me being sickly though.)

    Er what? Lego Star Wars is great. It's really fun and actually pretty imaginative, especially for a Star Wars game.

    LEGO Star Wars was my favourite game of 2005. I even started modding it. And so can you.

    Can't wait for the sequel.
