LEGO Horizon Adventures release date and pre-order news
Aloy is returning in LEGO form!
Since the first instalment back in 2017, Horizon has become one of the flagship titles for PlayStation (protagonist Aloy sits next to Astro and Kratos in the list of console mascots).
The franchise has gone from strength to strength, with a successful sequel in 2022, a remaster of the first game on the way, and even a LEGO set.
With this last release in mind, a LEGO Horizon video game shouldn't have been much of a surprise.
But we didn't see it coming, and couldn't quite believe our senses when it was announced earlier this year.
LEGO Horizon Adventures retells the story of the first game in the style of other LEGO games.
Some of the original cast have returned (including the late Lance Reddick), and it looks like an absolute hoot.
Let's take a look at everything we know about it!
When is the LEGO Horizon Adventures release date?
LEGO Horizon Adventures launches on 14th November 2024.
The Horizon series is the latest to join forces with LEGO. It follows in the footsteps of Marvel, Harry Potter and Star Wars, which have also had brick-based adaptations.
When is the UK launch time for LEGO Horizon Adventures?
But when exactly can we get our hands on it here in the UK?
The UK launch time for LEGO Horizon Adventures is 5am. So if you get up early, you can smash some LEGO robots before work.
Can I pre-order LEGO Horizon Adventures?
Yes, LEGO Horizon Adventures is available to pre-order right now.
The usual sites such as Amazon, Game and Currys all have the game ready to buy, along with a guaranteed price you'll pay in case it changes.
In April 2022, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga clocked 3.2 million sales, which is a hugely positive sign ahead of LEGO Horizon Adventures' launch.
If those numbers are anything to go by, we expect this LEGO-based adventure to perform just as well.
For those after the best deal, we highly recommend shopping around so you don't end up spending more than what's needed.
And if you pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition, you'll get a few cool skins. One of the many available is the Sackboy Outfit, so we reckon it's worth it just to see his smiley face again!
Which consoles and platforms can play LEGO Horizon Adventures?
LEGO Horizon Adventures is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC.
Due to Horizon's affiliation with Sony, the game won't be releasing on Xbox consoles anytime soon, which is hugely frustrating for those wanting to play on a Microsoft console.
LEGO Horizon Adventures gameplay and story details
LEGO Horizon Adventures features a number of mechanics fans of LEGO games will be familiar with.
Collect studs, build structures and collaborate with multiple characters in order to complete the task at hand.
For fans of the original Horizon games, LEGO Horizon Adventures follows the same story as Horizon Zero Dawn but with all the usual quirks you'd expect to find in a LEGO adaptation.
Is there a LEGO Horizon Adventures trailer?
Yes, there is! An official trailer was uploaded to the official LEGO YouTube channel as part of the announcement.
You can check it out below.
There's even a trailer reminding you to pre-order the game ahead of launch.
