Update: Alongside today's celebrations, Warner Bros has also released some brand new screenshots of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. You can browse them below:

Original Story: After a brief hiatus, Traveller’s Tales will return this year with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, a brand-new compilation featuring all nine mainline sci-fi movies. And with today being May 4th, publisher Warner Bros has released the title’s key art, helping you to get in the mood for the game’s impending summer arrival.

“Encapsulating the game’s epic blend of the three Star Wars trilogies, the key art includes some of the greatest heroes and villains seen throughout the Skywalker saga,” the press release reads. “Players can fight against the forces of evil as favourite characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Rey, Finn, BB-8, and a legion of other heroes, or turn to the dark side as Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and more.”

The blurb continues: “Thrilling locales also serve as a backdrop to the action-packed key art as players can engage in some of the films’ most legendary battles. From the landmark start to the Clone Wars in the Battle of Geonosis to manning an Alliance snowspeeder at the Battle of Hoth to take on the Imperial’s treacherous ground forces, generations of Star Wars lore and fandom will collide.”

@get2sammyb Not to pick nits, but those screenshots have been around since the game's announcement last year.

@Rob_230 It's a brand new game. All new levels, apparently.

@RogerRoger could be great in that case! I'll be honest, the lego formula was getting tired, but star wars is always powerful enough for one more try

Really looking forward to this one, probably going to be a launch PS5 game.

@Rob_230 They've promised to overhaul the LEGO gameplay formula with this one, and make it feel more like a proper third-person platformer. There's also apparently a freeform element where you'll fly around the galaxy, arriving at planets to play missions and finding things like space battles going on above them, and whatnot. Previews have been very positive.

Because yeah, I'm selective about the LEGO games I play, and only dabble with them once every couple of years (or when I'm in a big mood for a particular licence) because they can get quite generic.
