2K and the LEGO Group Announce ‘LEGO 2K Drive’
Available for pre-order now, the new AAA driving adventure game evolves the iconic LEGO play experience and is the first in a multi-title partnership.
2K and the LEGO Group have announced “LEGO 2K Drive,” a AAA driving adventure game, available worldwide on May 19. Developed by Visual Concepts, “LEGO 2K Drive” evolves the LEGO play experience with a vast, open world where players can build any vehicle, drive anywhere and become a LEGO racing legend.
“LEGO 2K Drive” will be the first release in a multi-title partnership between 2K and the LEGO Group to develop AAA LEGO games. “LEGO 2K Drive” will combine elements of open-world driving and fast-paced competitive racing, while introducing a diverse vehicle customization system.
A collaboration with supercar and hypercar company, McLaren Automotive, will bring the McLaren Solus GT and McLaren F1 LM – just released in a LEGO Speed Champions double-pack set to help celebrate 60 years since McLaren was founded by racer and engineer, Bruce McLaren – to the world of Bricklandia.
