New LEGO Tencent Video Game Launching September 19

LEGO Tencent Video Game

Here’s something very interesting that has surfaced recently regarding LEGO video games. If you remember from a few days ago, I reported that there’s a rumor of a LEGO The Legend of Zelda video game that was supposedly planned for a Nintendo Direct announcement. People have been saying that it could be a fake rumor and I’ll leave it at that. However yesterday, Yicai Global tweeted out some cryptic images of a brick-built yellow brick, a brick-built sword, and a knight minifigure and the tweet says Tencent and LEGO are teaming up to launch a game on September 19.

With the help of my mom, the translations for the images are as follows. The yellow brick one says something to “You’ve gone through many maps. You haven’t went into this gaming world.” The image with the sword says, “You’ve had a lot of equipment. You have never used this LEGO one. Each piece is individually crafted.” Finally, the knight minifigure images says, “You’ve fought a lot of enemies but not this one.”

It’s very curious to what this new LEGO Tencent video game will be but I’m assuming it will be a role-playing game (RPG) where you can level up your character and use different weapons fighting enemies and bosses in a large world. One thing to note is that the sword shown does not look like the Master Sword that Link uses in The Legend of Zelda series so that kind of debunks that this is a Legend of Zelda game.
