Driving Is Made Awesomer With The Reveal Of LEGO 2K Drive

LEGO

LEGO fans need to get excited with the latest reveal we have for LEGO 2K Drive to make the world more awesome

There is another reason to get behind the virtual wheel again with the reveal of LEGO 2K Drive. As the name suggests, it is a new racing title set in the Bricklandia world that has captured us all for so long. It is also a new racing game from Visual Concepts and 2K that is poised to hit the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC on May 19th. A nice little turnaround from reveal to launch for us all to all while trying to grab the attention of many more that have tried some of the others that are based around our childhoods too. Even if it may not be the LEGO game that many have been waiting for out there.

In addition to being a new racing game, LEGO 2K Drive will be giving us more of the same humor and fun that the universe has always been able to give us. All while letting us build and customize our own car in the mix while offering up classic builds we have seen over the years. Then we will be able to take the races online or play it at home with a two-player split-screen at home too. That should be fun to go through as we fire off the various things that will keep the races in LEGO 2K Drive a little dynamic to shift placements and the like. The traditional kart-racing gameplay but with this IP's normal flair. If only someone would use the ideas from Split/Second again in a game…
