There’s something uniquely satisfying about LEGO, even in video game form, with the brick builder having crossed over with countless IPs, genres and concepts. Following a leak earlier this Summer, it appears as though Paradox Interactive is gearing up to officially announce their new city builder ‘LEGO Skylines.’

Back in May, a ratings board listing for LEGO Skylines popped up, marking the first time what we’d heard of such a project. The listing went live alongside a plethora of other known titles, including Persona 4 Revival – lending credence to its legitimacy.

While LEGO Skylines has yet to be officially announced, it appears as though Paradox Interactive and LEGO are gearing up for a Gamescom announcement, with the two companies confirmed to be present at the showcase.

Taking to Instagram, the official Gamescom page revealed LEGO’s presence, writing: “Get ready for creativity, fun, and plenty of brick-tastic moments. The LEGO Group is joining us at gamescom 2026! See you there!”

In addition, the official Gamescom website has now listed its full line-up of attendees and exhibitions, confirming that Paradox Interactive will be present at the event.

Though there is still a chance that this is all a coincidence, it seems quite clear that the announcement for LEGO Skylines is impending. It will be interesting to see how it differs from the mainline City Skylines.

With the launch of the Switch 2, we’ve seen an increasing number of developers begin to support Nintendo’s latest handheld-hybrid with 3rd-party releases. That said, some of these titles have been late arrivals, or are still waiting to be released. Fortunately, one game which is only seeing a couple months buffer between its PC/PS5/Xbox and Switch 2 launch is LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight – officially coming to Switch 2 this September.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight recently released across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, arriving on the 19th of May to solid and consistent reviews across the board.

While Switch 2 owners were unfortunately left out during this launch period, the game is set to make its way to the portable platform soon, with Warner Bros. confirming that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight “comes to Nintendo Switch 2 on September 18!”

This launch will coincide with the release of the Mayhem Collection DLC, and luckily Switch owners will be able to join in on day-one alongside all other platforms.

Unfortunately, we have yet to receive any technical specifications for the Switch 2 version of the game. That said, the trailer released maxes out at just 1080p and 30fps. While this does not necessarily mean that the full game won’t feature higher resolutions/framerates, it does not lend any confidence to the idea – especially as this is the first offering from TTGames to run on Unreal Engine 5.

Either way, LEGO games are a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch, and so it is exciting to see that Legacy of the Dark Knight is coming to the platform sooner than some may have been expecting.

LEGO 2K Drive is a pretty fun open world racer which released back in 2023. Unfortunately, the game was hampered somewhat by its monetisation practices, leading to an overall mixed reception. Still, it comes as a disappointment that LEGO 2K Drive will officially be delisted from digital storefronts tomorrow – with servers being shut down at the end of the month.

Taking to their store page to make the announcement, the team at Visual Concepts / 2K wrote: “This product will no longer be available for purchase as of 05/19/2026.”

They continued, “All multiplayer servers for LEGO  2K Drive will be shutdown as of 05/31/2027. After that time, all game functions requiring online servers will no longer function.”

No reason was given for its delisting, and so it is unknown whether this decision came as a result of expiring licenses or simply due to its relative lack of popularity.

Either way, it is unfortunate to see yet another racing game being delisted. At the very least they have given a year’s head-up for its server shutdown.

KitGuru says: What did you think of LEGO 2K Drive? Was its monetisation a bit much? Why do you think the game is being delisted? Let us know down below.

LEGO 2K Drive, the 2023 arcade kart racer from publisher 2K and developer Visual Concepts, will soon be removed from digital storefronts and, in a little more than a year from the time of this writing, will lose all online functionality and will only be playable offline. The delisting notice was first spotted by ResetEra user MauroNL, who noted that the game's Xbox store page now includes a disclaimer about LEGO 2K Drive being delisted and its online functionality disappearing on May 31, 2027. "This product will no longer be available for purchase as of 05/19/2026," is what the game's […]

In recent days we’ve heard a ton of insider leaks and rumours claiming that Sony is moving away from its multi-platform strategy, with its first-party single player games no longer being ported over to the likes of the PC. One of the most interesting multi-platform releases was for LEGO Horizon Adventures – a title which was launched day-and-date on the Nintendo Switch alongside PlayStation. Though seemingly an out-of-character decision at the time, it appears as though the Switch port was mandated by LEGO, and was not Sony’s choice.

Following the recent reports which claimed that Sony would no longer be bringing its first-party PlayStation titles to additional platforms (live-service games excluded), game dev interviewer ‘Kiwi Talks’ took to Twitter to reveal some behind the scenes details on the LEGO Horizon Adventures deal, claiming that: “Lego Horizon only released on Switch because it was mandated by the Lego Group.”

When asked whether this was speculation or based on obtained knowledge, Kiwi claimed “no it's not an educated guess, it's info I know. Sony views Nintendo as direct competition.”

As mentioned, the release of LEGO Horizon Adventures on Switch was interesting, with it being the only non-live-service title from the company to land day-and-date on another platform – with most of its previous ports coming years after their PlayStation debut.

What this means for future potential collaborations such as this is unknown, with Sony reportedly wanting to go back to full PlayStation exclusives. Regardless, while bringing LEGO Horizon Adventures to Switch did make sense, its release was still quite novel at the time. It seems we now know why.
