Summer Game Fest 2024: Brick dinos and Beyond!

Summer Game Fest 2024 roared into action, dispelling any concerns about a "quieter" year with a surprise announcement that delighted fans of both Lego and Horizon Zero Dawn. Here's a deeper dive into the biggest reveals:

• Lego Horizon Adventures Takes Center Stage: The presentation kicked off with a bang, unveiling Lego Horizon Adventures. This isn't your typical Lego title. Sure, it features the signature brick aesthetic and playful humor the franchise is known for, but the setting is unlike anything we've seen before. Aloy, the iconic protagonist from Horizon Zero Dawn, returns, but this time she's accompanied by blocky versions of the awe-inspiring robotic dinosaurs that populate her world.

The trailer offered a glimpse into the gameplay, hinting at a delightful co-op experience where players can team up to explore a vibrant Lego rendition of the Horizon universe. Customization options were also teased, suggesting players might be able to personalize their Aloy and her mechanical companions.

Lego Horizon Adventures caters to a wider audience than the mainline Horizon series, offering a family-friendly adventure perfect for both seasoned players and newcomers. The trailer didn't reveal much about the story, but it did confirm a holiday season release for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5.

While Lego Horizon Adventures stole the show, Summer Game Fest also hinted at other announcements throughout the season. With this exciting reveal, the gaming world is buzzing with anticipation for what's to come next. Stay tuned for further updates as more games are showcased throughout the Summer Game Fest schedule!
