With the recent arrival of the Legends of Chima sets, LEGO isn’t done pushing their newly established original property. They, along with Warner and TT Games, have announced three video games based on the world of Chima and will be releasing them across various platforms in 2013.
First is a racing mini-game called LEGO Legends of Chima: Speedorz that is already available on LEGO.com today (although I can’t find it anywhere yet) and on the iOS on January 3rd. Players will be racing characters from Chima through many locations in world of Chima collecting items to power up their vehicles and unlocking more content.
The second game coming out is called LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey. This looks to be a game coming out for various handheld systems including the Nintendo 3DS, PS Vista, and the Nintendo DS. The main character will most likely be Laval and his allies will be having an adventure in the world of Chima. The Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita versions will be released in Summer 2013 while the Nintendo DS will be available in Fall 2013.
The final game being released this year revolving around the world of Chima is LEGO Legends of Chima Online. This is a free-to-play online game that allows players to create and customize their kingdom in Chima. Players can also explore the world as well as taking on missions for rewards. We’re not sure if this is a just single player game or a MMO style game.
LEGO wants you to play all three games because there is a reward system called the The Chima Vault where you earn points to unlock more content in LEGO Legends of Chima Online by playing both LEGO Legends of Chima: Speedorz and LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey.
