Traveller's Tales has teased dogfights in The Skywalker Saga before, but seeing them alongside flight-based missions makes outer space even more compelling to explore. Missions aren't limited to the surface of Star Wars planets, however while flying around in outer space, players might chance upon missions that encourage them to chart a course for another part of the galaxy or participate in a dogfight. While exploring the surface of a planet, players might find locations where they can take on special activities like participating in a bar brawl on Tatooine. The Skywalker Saga's new gameplay overview puts an emphasis on finding side missions in its overworld.

Much more importantly, though, the trailer has provided concrete evidence that The Skywalker Saga's overworld objectives are built on variety. Gotham City had no shortage of collectibles for players to find, like Gold Bricks, Citizens in Peril, and unlockable characters, but these collectibles lacked variety in the long run and ultimately made exploring Gotham feel a little repetitive.Ĭonsidering how many previous LEGO games feature some type of Brick as an important collectible, it's no surprise to learn that The Skywalker Saga's overworld will be littered with Kyber Bricks used to unlock upgrades for character classes the trailer also suggests that there'll be other collectible types to mix things up. Some previous LEGO games with overworlds have run into this problem, including early titles like LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. If players don't have anything to do in the overworld besides walk around and earn studs, then the overworld would lose its luster pretty quickly. However, the ability to explore isn't enough. That level of freedom goes far to distinguish The Skywalker Saga from other Star Wars titles. The Skywalker Saga not only features planets with broad regions that they can explore, but apparently players can do so whenever they like, taking breaks between story levels to roam around Coruscant, Tatooine, and some twenty other famous Star Wars worlds. Although there's plenty of Star Wars games that take players to multiple worlds, few of them give players the liberty to travel between a vast number of planets at their leisure and wander their surfaces. Until the arrival of The Skywalker Saga's gameplay overview, the overworld already sounded great.
LEGO WORLDS QUESTS UPGRADE

It's clear now that The Skywalker Saga will feature a ton of missions, minigames, and NPC interactions that flesh out the overworld alongside LEGO Star Wars' usual collectibles. While it's great to see The Skywalker Saga feature such a vast world to explore, that world's value is measured by what players can find by exploring it. More importantly, though, the new trailer has showcased just how many things there are to do in The Skywalker Saga's interplanetary overworld.
Based on new looks at accessing planets and traveling on their surfaces, these worlds are huge, living up to the scale of Star Wars. That all changed when it released a gameplay overview for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that gave fans a new sense of the overworld's scale. Although fans have known about its two dozen planets for a long time, Traveller's Tales hasn't gone in depth about their contents. For a long time, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's overworld has been a major talking point of the game, even though Traveller's Tales has only offered glimpses of its take on the Star Wars universe.
