Storyline?

But of course! How would you like to discover the secrets behind the origin of the [kwlink]LEGO[/kwlink] Universe and its resident minifigures? Now you can! Team up with other minifigures to complete quests throughout the lands and uncover new areas, characters, building features, and creative challenges. How you build your story in [kwlink]LEGO[/kwlink] Universe depends on how you play; you’ll earn more bricks by exploring, completing challenges, conquering enemies, gathering resources, discovering treasures and unlocking well-hidden secrets. Not only that, but you’ll also be able to make your own building blocks! We can’t say too much about this feature right now but check back and we might have some new insights. [kwlink]LEGO[/kwlink] Universe will also feature popular past and present sets, themes and characters, but expect to see brand new figures and storylines as well! We can’t give too much away but you’ll also be able to create your own original characters!

Safety

Because this game is designed for children and [kwlink]LEGO[/kwlink] fans alike, it will feature a wide variety of safe ways for players to communicate with each other, but without compromising online safety. Parents are able to custom set game controls to allow for various levels of in-game player communication. Closer to launch we’ll add updates on exactly what these features include.
