Summer Game Fest 2024, the annual mecca for video game enthusiasts, kicked off with a bang with the announcement of a game we weren't really expecting: LEGO Horizon Adventures! Held every year in June, this event brings together the biggest players in the video game industry and fans from all over the world to unveil the latest releases. This year, it was the surprising fusion between the universe of Horizon Zero Dawn and the famous LEGO bricks that left its mark, promising a year-end 2024 rich in colorful adventures.
At the Nintendo Direct on August 27, 2024, the game confirmed its release horizon for Winter 2024: the title should appear during the holiday season, just in time to receive it under the tree.
Officially announced on the first day of Summer Game Fest, LEGO Horizon Adventures caused quite a stir with its trailer revealing a post-apocalyptic world filled with mechanical dinosaurs and typical LEGO game humor. Developed by Guerrilla Games in collaboration with Studio Gobo, the game promises to take the characteristic elements of the Horizon saga and add the playful, offbeat touch of LEGO. Players will embody Aloy, accompanied by Rost, in an adventure as entertaining as it is epic, available on PS5, PC and, against all odds, Nintendo Switch.
The surprise of this announcement lies in the game's availability on Nintendo's handheld console. Usually licensed under PlayStation, Horizon is expanding its audience thanks to a novel partnership, reminiscent of the previous success of LEGO games on Nintendo consoles. The idea? Reach a younger audience, while reinforcing the popularity of the Horizon franchise with LEGO fans.
Scheduled for release in late 2024, LEGO Horizon Adventures promises a single-player experience as well as local cooperative multiplayer. This new title is already shaping up to be a must-have for fans of action-adventure games and the Horizon saga, while also bringing a dose of freshness and fun unique to LEGO games. Ready to get back into action with LEGO version of Aloy?
