After a year or so of rumors, 2K Games and The LEGO Group formally announce their multi-game partnership with the goal of combining2K’s high-quality approach to gameswith LEGO’s cultural impact, with the very first title beingLEGO 2K Drive.

Ultimately, the primary goal inLEGO 2K Driveis to defeat the rivals scattered across the biomes and win the coveted Sky Trophy, but along the way, players will be able to complete quests for the various Brick denizens of Bricklandia, compete in multiplayer party games like a LEGO-equivalent of Simon Says, complete on-the-go events, and much, much more.
