LEGO and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment today announced that LEGO and TT Games Publishing, a Warner Bros. development studio, have renewed their contract through 2016.
TT Games has been the exclusive developer of LEGO-branded games since 2005, and their games have seen great success, resulting in nearly 50 million LEGO video game sales worldwide. These titles include LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Batman, Bionicle Heroes and LEGO Battles. They also assisted Harmonix in the creation of LEGO Rock Band. Their success has been due, in part, to the universal appeal of their games; LEGO games are designed with families of gamers in mind, having something to enjoy for players of every age.
The next LEGO gaming series in development is LEGO Harry Potter, which will divide the Harry Potter epic into two games with mechanics similar to the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman games. The first of the Harry Potter games is due out this May.
“One of the things that sets the LEGO brand apart is that it allows kids to express their creativity, and the games we develop with TT Games are not just great fun but also inspire kids to play with their LEGO bricks, exploring our different play themes more deeply,” said Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, VP of LEGO Digital. “We are very excited to continue to work with TT Games because they take a distinctive approach to making games creative, social and non-violent, which makes them a valuable part of the broader LEGO experience.”
“We look forward to carrying on our excellent collaboration with the LEGO Group in building extraordinary LEGO videogame franchises, with both Warner Bros. and third party IP, that continue to resonate with consumers,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director of TT Games Publishing. “There is a tremendous future for LEGO games, and we are looking forward to working with all of our partners over the coming years”.
