to destroy, and well-known vehicles from LEGO themes like City,
Creator, Speed Champions and more.

is a fast-paced, off-the-wall experience as players battle across a
broad range of tracks while taking advantage of unique power-up
abilities that can transform a player’s standing in the race with
the touch of a button.
- Unique Customization: LEGO 2K Drive introduces a diverse
customization system that allows players to build their own
vehicles to suit their tastes, with over 1,000 unique LEGO pieces
available over the course of their adventure, in addition to a
wealth of color designs, stickers, flairs, and more.

the magic of the LEGO System-in-Play, and 2K’s strong track record
of delivering quality, innovative titles for a broad range of
audiences makes them the perfect partner to create the next iconic
AAA LEGO games,” said Remi Marcelli, Head of LEGO GAME. “Beginning
with LEGO 2K Drive, we’re excited for fans to experience a
fresh new take that builds on the LEGO humor and fun fans have come

“With the history the LEGO brand holds, we were very conscious
of the responsibility we had to both our partners and longtime fans
of LEGO play, while still thinking about how we can bring something
new and unique to a LEGO title,” said Greg Thomas, President of
Visual Concepts. “For LEGO 2K Drive, we assembled a
best-in-class team of game makers who poured their hearts into an
unforgettable experience we can’t wait to share with fans.”
