'Lego 2K Drive' is an open-world racing game coming in May

If you love Lego bricks and racing games, you're in luck. Visual Concepts, the studio behind annual licensed WWE and NBA sports games, will launch Lego 2K Drive globally on May 19. It's an open-world racing game similar to the Forza Horizon series. But it also has elements of kart racing, making it seem like a crossover between Forza Horizon and Mario Kart. The game is set in Bricklandia with multiple themed regions, mini-games, collectibles, and, of course, races.

In true Lego fashion, you can build your own car. But there are also vehicles from Lego's City, Creator, and Speed Champions lines. The recently released McLaren Solus GT and McLaren F1 LM will feature in the game. There are single and multiplayer modes, including cooperative and competitive modes. There are two-player split-screen and online play for up to six players.

The Lego Group and 2K developed this title as the “first release in a multi-title partnership… to develop AAA Lego games.” It's unclear whether future titles will be racing games or if they plan to release other titles in different genres. Lego 2K Drive will be available on the PC, Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S. There will also be Awesome Edition and Awesome Rivals Edition, with extra content coming earlier on May 16.
