The Present and Future of LEGO Gaming

[Hapori Tohu]

In this week's installment of the Bits N' Bricks podcast, journalist Brian Crecente and documentarian Ethan Vincent stop looking at past achievements in LEGO Gaming and instead reflect on the here-and-now and the what-will-be of digital LEGO play. You can listen to Episode 17 - LEGO Video Games and Digital Play to hear from The LEGO Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen, Chief Product and Marketing Officer Julia Goldin, and Vice President of LEGO Games Sean McEvoy. They each share their unique perspectives on what has gotten the company to where it is with gaming and where they see things headed tomorrow and years down the road. Go give it a listen and make sure you check back next week for the second part of the interviews!

It was interesting to hear about some of the more recent accomplishments of developing Lego games that go beyond the TT Games formula that many fans had associated with Lego gaming for a while now. I was honestly not surprised that future projections indicate that not only will the physical Lego products remain as relevant as ever, but also that digital play could very well become as much an integral part of the Lego play experience as the physical building experience in a way that both would become equally relevant. Anyway, I'll definitely be looking forward to next week's episode, considering who they mentioned they will be speaking with (Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and Jorgen Vig Knudstorp).
