Read details on the game below:
Co-developed by Guerrilla and Studio Gobo, LEGO Horizon Adventures is a playful and light-hearted story inspired by the events of the world of Horizon.
In a distant future, the land is made of LEGO bricks and incredible dinosaur-like machines roam the Earth. Aloy, the game’s leading hero, is found in a cave as a baby and raised by a grizzled huntsman called Rost, who teaches her the way of the wilds. One day, Aloy embarks on a quest to discover her true destiny. Guided by a thousand-year-old hologram of a scientist called Elisabet, Aloy must confront Helis, the leader of a group of sun worshipers who bow to an Ancient Evil shrouded in mystery. There’s much more in store for Aloy and her friends, as their adventure sends them across the tallest mountains and deepest cauldrons — all beautifully recreated in LEGO elements.
Follow your own adventure or share the fun with another player via couch or online co-op. LEGO Horizon Adventures has been designed for two-player action without the need for split-screen, providing an opportunity for family and friends to develop connections through collaborative play.
There’s plenty of brick-based fun to be had too. Give the village of Mother’s Heart a makeover, decorating it in delightful ways to unlock unique LEGO buildings and ornaments. You can even dish out hilarious outfits for your friends to wear!

PS5 & PC... naturally.
Switch... that's the big surprise.
LOVE the vibe! stuff like this is what has been missing this gen imo. This and Astrobot. Just the goofyness of playing a game and enjoying yourself.
Wow couch coop for a horizon game!
Well Lego games have a staple 2 player couch coop but just wow!
It looks quite fun as well, not 70 euro fun but still it looks much better than I would have thought. Also a physical Lego Tallneck, Thunderjaw and Stormbird would be dope af.
So Lego probably put it's foot down and said put it on all consoles and pc to make as much money as possible. Sony said we'll put it on pc and Switch, but selling a 100,000 or so copies on Xbox isn't going to be worth the resources unless Xbox writes a big check to put it on gamepass. Lego said, fine just put it on pc and the Switch.
Love LEGO games but tbh that isn't a LEGO game...only TT Games know the feel and flow of how a LEGO game should be. Guerrilla whilst a great game studio are not a LEGO Studio.
I'll keep an eye on this but in all likelihood I'll give it a miss.
The most shocking part about this trailer was seeing "Nintendo Switch" at the end. Can't think of too many times where Sony has published on a Nintendo system.
MLB The Show, is the only other one I can think of and that is because MLB forced Sony to release the series on the Switch and Xbox. Otherwise, they would lose the MLB license.
If switch why not Xbox as well? I think Sony doesn't think Nintendo as direct competitor
Xbox brings nothing. Switch brings a huge userbase and portability.
What do you mean nothing? 90% of the 3rd party titles are also on Xbox.
That feels like a random made up number. Do you have an actual source for that?
I mean Xbox brings nothing to this situation. It doesn't help Sony to have this game on the xbox console. A massive userbase and portability adds a lot. Another desktop console that has no region advantage adds nothing.
I mean if it brings nothing then why are we seeing third party titles still releasing on Xbox? When you said nothing is more random and false than me saying Xbox has 90% of 3rd party games . I'm certain it's at least 80% it could be 90% too
So you don't have a source - and you did make it up. Check.
There is a pretty big difference than a third party putting it on consoles and a main console putting it on another.
It is easy to see how Lego was able to convince Sony to add Switch. It is also easy to see why they couldn't/wouldn't/didn't convince them to release on xbox.
Do you have a source that Xbox would bring nothing to this game? Like come on do we need to bring up a source for every post can't can't just estimate? Just look at all the 3rd party titles that are on Xbox and also coming to Xbox? What is it missing? Ff7 what else? We know most 3rd party titles are on both PlayStation and xbox. Sure that are a few dozens exclusive 3rd party titles on PlayStation and xbox but that's out of hundreds of titles
Exactly.
Let's look at some facts.
-Lego has always released on Xbox and I'm willing to bet the next one after this will too.
-Playstation is much more of a competitor with Xbox than Switch or PC.
-Majority of 3rd party games release on Xbox.
I think it's safe to say, this has more to do with Sony skipping Xbox because it's a direct competitor than your "Xbox is nothing" claim.
Why help a competitor with a game on their platform when it probably won't sell anything anyway because no-one buys games on Xbox. They only buy Gamepass.
Last I remember, you kept saying, "Xbox isn't competition for Sony." Now they are competitors again? Make up your mind.
This is a lego version of an existing first party game. They have never done that before. So always flies out the window.
" -Playstation is much more of a competitor with Xbox than Switch or PC." Exactly. So why would Sony release a first party game hybrid on Xbox.
Also I didn't say xbox is nothing. I said they brought nothing. Wildly different.
Switch is a competitor, but it adds a lot. Large userbase, portability, and bigger regional advantages.
Xbox is a bigger competitor - but adds nothing. It has a smaller userbase. No portability. And it has no regional advantage. It is a greater competitor with no advantages.
I meant to directly quote you, but misquoted.
If Xbox had the same user base size as Playstation, do you think they would still skip Xbox? I do.
My point is, I don't buy the whole smaller install base narrative you are trying to push.
Sony also doesn't want any possibility of this game coming to Game Pass. The MLB games have more players on Xbox because of Game Pass. Not really a good look for Playstation.
I do yes. The PS4 has a bigger userbase but it isn't getting it either.
It also isn't about only the userbase. Switch offers userbase, portability, and more/better regions. Xbox offers nothing like that.
MLB is on Xbox because of MLB. This game might be on the switch because of Lego.
The entire point being: The Switch brings something. The xbox brings very little.
I'm making a second post because I don't understand any of the MLB references what so ever.
"Sony also doesn't want any possibility of this game coming to Game Pass. " is true. Game pass wouldn't help Sony. So why would Sony want it?
MS is MORE of a competitor, Game pass does nothing for Sony, and they bring nothing to add to the table to counter balance either of those points.
"The MLB games have more players on Xbox because of Game Pass" more than that. More is a comparison of two subjects. More than if it wasn't on game pass? More than On playstation?
And how is it not a good look for Playstation? but also doesn't that prove my point?
In other words…Nintendo and Sony offer vastly different gaming experiences, whereas Microsoft and Sony aren’t too different from each other. Nintendo isn’t a threat to Sony’s market share, whereas Microsoft is a direct competitor.
This is canon, right?
Aloy looking good!
I have a dream
That one day i need to buy one console and. Can play everything on it.
It's called a pc these days
Whats surprising is Switch gets a version and not the PS4
Yep this is the thing kinda bugging me. Just give it the Switch assets ect and scale up resolution abit, and the switch port, should be playable on ps4 as well.
Clearly they aren't confident that releasing on PS/PC would recoup costs.
