If you thought LEGO games were just about licensed characters and big IPs, then LEGO Voyagers is here to prove you wrong. Out September 15, 2025, from Light Brick Studio and Annapurna Interactive, in this game two average bricks go on an adventure of friendship, teamwork and innovation through beautiful lego-based worlds. That might be on a small scale, but it’s looking to pack an emotional punch, to offer gentle challenge and an experience that’s as much about discovering together as playing. Let’s have a look at everything you need to know prior to launch — including systems, controls, visuals and pros and cons along with whether it has the requisite staying power to become an all-time favorite.

Release Date, Platforms & Availability

Official launch date: 15 September 2025 globally.
Platforms: Windows PC (Steam & Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X & S, Nintendo Switch — and a Switch 2 version already announced!
Co-op modes, both local split-screen and online multiplayer. And it has the Friend’s Pass so that only one person needs to own the game for two to play together.

Gameplay & Mechanics — What Makes LEGO Voyagers Unique

Core Gameplay Loop

You control two 1×1 LEGO bricks (one red, one blue) who negotiate environments, solve platforming puzzles, assemble ad hoc structures from LEGO parts to reach new areas of a level, activate environmental switches and work together with your partner to cross chasms, ride rockets or tram cars and interact with abandoned or fanciful Lego scenes. There is no voice-over, no heavy dialogue: It’s visual storytelling, non verbal it driven by visuals, sound and interaction.

Controls & Physics

The physicality of movement is deliberate: You roll, tumble, plug onto Lego studs (“stud grid”), spin on pieces and snap bricks together to build structures. A few reviews mention “clunky” or “obscure” control points (in particular, judging distance in platform jumps).
Puzzle complexity: beginning easy (bridges, ramps, basic platforming) > gradually more complex – multi-stage puzzles + heavier machinery + teamwork.

Aesthetic & Atmosphere

The visuals of the world are well realized. Light, plasticity, “a little imperfections in so far as the brick (‘openness angles’) they can feel physically”. Mood is enhanced by the ominous soundscape. Calm, relaxing but intimate.
Story is gentle but emotional. Topics of friendship, a search for building and discovery as well as an insatiable sense of loss and awe. Several reviews describe the narrative as “punching above its weight” despite being quiet.

Community Reactions

The hype on the internet is legitimate, though also somewhat polarized.

Reddit: Some fans are describing it as “LEGO Starfield lite” and being hyped to be able to explore planets and build ships. The fear of some others is that it will feel too much like LEGO Worlds, without providing something really new.

X (Twitter): The co-op aspect is very exciting for a lot of players, such as “This is the LEGO game I’ve always wanted to play with my friends.”

Gaming forums: There are some threads saying how LEGO Voyagers won’t have that much replayability in the long-term, to simply being a short burst of fun.

I have been itching to play anything like It takes two and this game on day 1 trailer had me because it has co-op and LEGO. Two of my favorite things. The game is short (about 3 hours to complete) but it’s super cozy and friendly. The style and the music is awesome! I think it will be fun to replay with some other friends or family and find all of the achievements!

This was such a good game, no joke I cried over the story driving it to its end. The structure was fun, a hit with the better half to sit down and play on a date and would recommend it to any relationship looking for something to play together.

Played it for an hour with my 3 year old, seems like an awesome intro to using a controller, esp. if they LOVE lego.

Personal Opinions

I genuinely believe that LEGO Voyagers is the next big thing in LEGO games. Unlike your typical tie-in fare (your LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter, etcetera), this feels a little less easygoing in an odd way — it’s not just re-skinning what came before but attempting to plant its own flag. For me, the combination of exploration and creativity could resonate with both kids and older fans who came up on that LEGO nostalgia. My only concern? The pacing. If the missions drag or get too repetitive, there’s a risk players will quickly lose interest. But nail progression, and this could be one of the most amazing LEGO titles for years.

FAQs — What People Want to Know

Q: Do I need two LEGO Voyagers to play with a friend?
A: No — because of the Friend’s Pass, whether you play solo or online with a friend who doesn’t own A Way Out, your purchase includes free access to play A Way Out online with a pal.

Q: Is there a game mode where you can play by yourself?
A: No – it's been designed as co-op (local or online) game. In each level you have to bring the two bricks together.

Q: How long is the game?
A: From most reviews I've seen around 4-5 hours to finish the main story/puzzles. But delving into extras, looking at all of the visuals or attempting tougher puzzles could strain that.

Q: What are the specs needed to run the game on PC?
A: At least: OS: Windows 10, Processor: Intel i5-650 | AMD Athlon II X4 650, Memory: 8 GB RAM, Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX560Ti or better (1024MB VRAM) datingsider test! High Settings Recommendations: ~1080p 60 FPS, GTX 1060 or RX 5500 etc.
