LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was originally scheduled to be hitting Xbox this Spring, but TT Games has announced the game will no longer be meeting that release window, with no new date in sight.
In a statement to fans, the developer said it hopes it will be "the biggest and best-ever LEGO game", but unfortunately, this requires more time and as a result, the game will no longer be hitting its Spring release window. No new date is planned, but the team has said they will alert fans "as soon as possible."
With it being March and the next few months being pretty stacked with games, we're not overly surprised by this, but it's still sad to see. It seems TT Games is really working to make this game special, and if that means more time is needed, so be it. We won't lie though, we were really excited for this one.

Lego Games are my go to for distraction and calm. Huge backlog of games means I’m happy to wait… hoping for a bit of reinvention on the formula, but will be a day one.
@antifyre The best thing they can do is NOT change the formula for these games. We love these games because of what they are and how they play. Being able to complete a level and then go to a hub to re-select that level again to 100% complete it is what makes these games great. The Lego Movie 2 game was horrible because it deviated from the norm. The need to continue with the traditional style of levels and game play for all Lego games.
@OliverOwen agree to disagree, but I’m certainly not talking a massive change of pace, and I’m absolutely down with the hub world concept. I’m actually thinking a Lego Undercover open world piece ( be it one that changes as things move along) could suit a Skywalker game….and still encourage 100 percenting
I LOVE lego games. But I’m skipping this one. I have the Complete Saga (the real stories that count) I don’t need to add stories that were written and created but just made the series worse. I’m good with just the Lucas Saga.
@xMightyMatt14x They're remaking everything for this game - all movies 1-9 are being done completely from scratch.
"Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity to build a LEGO Star Wars game from the ground up that brings all nine films of the Skywalker saga together for the first time in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip? We all knew early that to do this right, we had to do it well, and to respect what has come before while bringing new elements to the franchise.
We needed the game to feel epic in scope and scale while bringing the player intimately closer to the action like never before. This required new technology, new game mechanics, and a passionate team of developers to create a cast of hundreds and all the familiar worlds they populate — all with the charm and humor you expect with a LEGO Star Wars game. Quite frankly, this game is massive because it had to be."
@FraserG
It feels weird to read that quote (in Eminem's voice) for a Lego game, but I'm so down for it. Don't rush it, but also don't delay it for two years.
Really would be nice if developers would stop giving release times until they're done with the game. Or better yet, let's go back to the whole "This is New Game XYZ. Thank you for watching our presentation. Oh, and the game is available to download and play starting now."
@FraserG I know. It was more a commentary on how I hated the sequels and don’t personally count them lol
Interesting that they waited until April to tell us it won't be in Spring!
@InterceptorAlpha I’ve always loved that. I remember when Doom was dropped on XBLA during a presentation 👌
@OliverOwen I can’t agree on this one sorry. The LEGO games all feel outdated now and don’t to death. The kids still play and live them but I can’t even bring myself to join in anymore. I’m hoping that however the new format plays it’s like a breath of fresh air and brings people like me (I’m sure there’s thousands) back to the games but still keeps those still playing happy. Hope we both enjoy it.
