History

Light Brick Studio was originally founded as The Lego Group's own internal video game development studio. The studio was formed to create more experimental games featuring Lego content. When initially formed, it only had a few employees. Although a subsidiary of a The Lego Group, it was compared to an independent game studio. [1] [2]

Their first project was Lego Builder's Journey, originally developed under the title Lego Arthouse. Lego Builder's Journey was released in December 2019.

In November 2020, it was announced that the studio would split from The Lego Group and become independent, with the idea that it could eventually become in-house again. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] In 2021, it was reported on the Bits n' Bricks podcast that the studio was developing a second game. [8] The studio's next game, Lego Voyagers, was released in 2025.
