LEGO Brawls is the latest iteration of the iconic children's playset making the jump to the realm of video games. We got to see some gameplay in last month's announcement trailer, and now we have a release date: LEGO Brawls is coming to PS5 and PS4 on 2 September.
While clearly taking a lot of inspiration from the Super Smash Brothers franchise, LEGO Brawls introduces a unique twist all its own.
Rather than playing as characters from various video game franchises, you create your own brawler using pieces from various officially licensed LEGO sets, like Classic Space, Pirates, Alien Conquest, Castle or Ninjago, to name a few. There will be, apparently, an eye-watering 77,289,215,065,920 possible minifigure customisation combinations available at launch.
It's a cool twist, and one we look forward to trying out for ourselves. Are you looking forward to picking up LEGO Brawls? Did you have a favourite classic LEGO set as a kid, or are there more modern sets you would like to see added to the game? Build us a picture in the comments section below.

This arguable has the potential to be huge just based on what you could create . If they nailed the combat this could be a hit. They biggest thing it has working against it is its own ambition. Having that many custom characters on paper sounds great but there is no way they could possibly have a different move set for all of them and that's where your own ambition can stifle you . Who knows id be curious to see how this shakes out in the end.
@Otherbarry $40 launch price according to the Xbox store, I'll probably wait for a $20 sale.
Love your name and avatar btw, I'm a big Archer fan!
I feel like the only reason to not make this free-to-start is to make it look like it has some value when t inevitably comes to PS+ and Gamepass.
And of course to NOT have it be free-to-start b/c there are a lot of people out their who hate those. And to be fair if it's $40 for the Complete Edition, no other $ to spend, I'm all for it.
Don't think it will be very good though, just a license IP aimed at kids. If every character fighters the same that's fine too, then the kids can all just play as equals, and the devs never have to worry about nerf & buff balance issues later on. It's for kids.
