LEGO 2K Drive game is coming and it looks to be an instant classic
Racers will be able to build, explore and race their LEGO creations in the new game available on PC and across all consoles including PS5 and Nintendo Switch from May 2023.LEGO has teamed up with 2K, the makers of computer games WWE 2K22 and NBA 2K23 to release LEGO 2K Drive, the ultimate AAA driving adventure game. Players will be exploring Bricklandia, home of a massive open world LEGO driving adventure where they will be able to race anywhere, play with anyone, build their dream rides, and defeat a cast of wacky racing rivals for the coveted Sky Trophy.
From the first look at the trailer, this has all the makings of an instant classic in the same style as Mario Kart, The Simpsons Road Rage and Crash Team Racing.
A collaboration with McLaren will see the McLaren Solus GT and McLaren F1 LM which have been released in LEGO Speed Champions form, available in the world of Bricklandia, as the cover cars.
Some of the key features of LEGO 2K Drive include wide open world story mode where players will journey across Bricklandia's multiple unique biome regions to compete against a series of charismatic rivals with hopes of one day winning the coveted Sky Cup Trophy. The wide open world is full of racing, minigames, challenges, collectibles, things to destroy, and well-known vehicles from LEGO themes like City, Creator, Speed Champions and more.
High-Octane LEGO Racing is a fast-paced, off-the-wall experience as players battle across a range of tracks while taking advantage of unique power-up abilities that can transform a player’s standing in the race with the touch of a button.
Unique Customisation allows players to build their own vehicles to suit their tastes, with over 1000 unique LEGO pieces available in addition to loads of colour designs, stickers, flairs, and more.
You can compete by yourself, with family and friends via local, 2-person split-screen or match online with other intrepid racers of similar skill levels.
Three editions of LEGO 2K Drive will be available including the Standard edition, Awesome Edition which adds a new vehicle, vehicle flair, and an in-game LEGO minifigure.

And the Awesome Rivals Edition includes multiple new vehicles, a vehicle flair, and in-game LEGO minifigures. Players will also receive the Year 1 Drive Pass too.
