LEGO CEO Niels Christiansen has recently shared exciting insights into the company's ambitious plans to enhance its footprint in the digital world, particularly through the development of video games. This strategic move will see LEGO not only creating titles independently but also forging partnerships to bring new gaming experiences to fans worldwide.

"We are confident that, as long as we operate under the LEGO brand, we aim to create experiences for children of all ages across both digital and physical platforms. Developing games internally is something we are actively pursuing." - Niels Christiansen

This expansion into gaming doesn't mean LEGO will halt its collaborations with third-party developers. For example, just last month, gaming journalist Jason Schreier revealed that TT Games, renowned for its LEGO-themed titles, is currently developing a new LEGO game, possibly linked to a Warner Bros. franchise.

Currently, LEGO's most notable gaming endeavor is its partnership with Epic Games. The introduction of a LEGO-themed mode in Fortnite last year has proven immensely popular, drawing in millions of players and cementing LEGO's place in the gaming community.

Over the past two decades, LEGO has become synonymous with the adventure game series developed by TT Games. Although new projects have been somewhat quiet lately, whispers in the gaming world hint at a potential LEGO Harry Potter game on the horizon, inspired by the massive success of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which achieved significant commercial acclaim.

Further demonstrating LEGO's adaptability in the gaming sector, the company partnered with 2K Games to release LEGO 2K Drive, a racing game that hit the market last year, showcasing LEGO's versatility and commitment to diversifying its gaming portfolio.
