LEGO CEO Niels Christiansen has recently shared exciting plans for the future, highlighting the company's intent to broaden its digital footprint through the development of video games. This strategic move involves crafting new titles both independently and in collaboration with other developers.
"We are confident that, as long as we operate under the LEGO brand, we aim to create experiences for children of all ages across both digital and physical platforms. Developing games internally is something we are actively pursuing." - Niels Christiansen
This expansion into the gaming world does not signal the end of LEGO's licensing agreements with third-party developers. In fact, just last month, journalist Jason Schreier revealed that TT Games, renowned for their LEGO-themed games, is currently developing a new title, possibly connected to one of Warner Bros.' franchises.

LEGO's most notable gaming endeavor to date is its collaboration with Epic Games. The introduction of a LEGO-themed mode in Fortnite last year was a massive success, quickly becoming one of the game's most beloved features.
Over the past two decades, LEGO has been closely associated with the adventure game series developed by TT Games. Although recent projects from the studio have been somewhat under wraps, there are whispers of a new LEGO Harry Potter game in development, fueled by the commercial success of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Furthermore, LEGO's partnership with 2K Games resulted in the release of LEGO 2K Drive, a racing game that hit the market last year. This venture further demonstrates LEGO's adaptability and innovation within the gaming sector.
