Gameplay

Lego Voyagers is a puzzle-platformer game which supports both local and online cooperative multiplayer. Each player assumes control of a 1x1 Lego brick who must embark on a journey to rescue an abandoned spaceship. The two characters (nicknamed Red and Blue) can roll around and jump. They can also attach themselves to other Lego pieces, and rotate themselves on top of it. [1] The main gameplay loop revolves around two players working together to build items, solve environmental puzzles, and cross gaps and platforms. [2] Occasionally, both Red and Blue can combine together alongside other Lego pieces, forcing both players to move the whole structure at the same time. While the game is largely a wordless adventure, a Lego brick can "sing" to draw their partner's attention. [3]

Development and release

Lego Voyagers was developed by Light Brick Studios, most known for develping Lego Builder's Journey . Light Brick was originally part of The Lego Group, though it was spun off into an independent studio in November 2020. [4] According to creative director Karsten Lund, the three fundamental pillars for the game were "puzzle-platforming, friendship, and co-op". The game was designed to be approachable for audience of all ages, though the team worked to ensure that the difficulty of the game's puzzles will slowly increase as players progress. Lund also added that it was possible for players to build every setpiece in Voyagers using actual Lego bricks. [5]

The game was announced in June 2025 during Summer Game Fest. [6] It was released on September 15, 2025 for Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. The game launched with a Friend Pass, which allows the player who purchased the game to send invitations to their friends who can then play the game for free with the player. [7] A launch-day version for Nintendo Switch 2 was announced on September 11. [8]
