Prior to the release announcement of the next LEGO game coming this year, the Xbox Store has spoiled the surprise. Available this summer, LEGO Star Wars the Force Awakens will be the Summer tie in game we'll get this year. Last year, it was LEGO Jurassic World prior to Marvel Avengers last week.
Some new features added to the version will include both Blaster Builds and multi-builds. The Blaster builds are just that, they let you build Blaster weapons to go up against the First Order. The Multi-builds will let you build another pathway, only to destroy it and build another one. No videos have been released yet other than the reveal trailer which you can see below. The official description of the game, is as follows
