What you need to know

May the Fourth came and went with no release date for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, though we did get comekey art and the confirmation that it would feature nearly 500 playable characters. Eyes turned towards an announcement at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fast, but it looks likethe release date was seemingly slippedin an episode of This Week in Star Wars.

Apparently, the game is set to release on October 20, 2020. The episode has since been pulled from Star Wars' YouTube and social media and was reuploaded without any mention of a release date. It’s unclear whether this is because the release date was inaccurate, not set in stone, or if it wasn’t meant to be announced just yet.

Lucasfilm Games Managing Producer Craig Derrick was recently interviewed byStarWars.comand discussed what it was like to create the game.

We’ll just need to wait a little while longer to see when we’ll be jumping back into the Skywalker saga. Here’s hoping playing through The Rise of Skywalker is infinitely more enjoyable than trying to watch it.

A galaxy far, far away

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be the first game to compile all nine of the series' main entries into one package. The Rise of Skywalker may have been a huge disappointment, but maybe this game can make it somewhat enjoyable.
