LEGO® MINIFIGURES ONLINE OPEN BETA LAUNCHING IN JUNE
Get ready for your most colorful online adventure yet, as Funcom opens the door
to the world of LEGO® Minifigures Online this June
Oslo, Norway - April 28th, 2014 - Funcom is excited to announce that its
upcoming online game LEGO® Minifigures Online will head into Open Beta on the PC
in select markets this June. Based on the hugely popular Minifigures series of
collectible toys, LEGO® Minifigures Online brings the little characters to life
as players get to collect them and bring them out on epic adventures through
classic LEGO worlds such as Pirate, Space, Medieval and many more.
LEGO Minifigures Online will launch as a free-to-play game on PC, iOS and
Android this fall. The game has already been in Closed Beta for several months,
and Funcom will be using the Open Beta as an opportunity to test the game even
more thoroughly with large numbers of players, and the developers look forward
to feedback on everything from the fun factor to the technical details.
“Open Beta is a significant milestone for any game, and I can say on behalf of
the team that we are incredibly excited that players, young and old will soon
have the opportunity to experience LEGO Minifigures Online for themselves,” says
Executive Producer Lawrence Poe. “This is an invaluable opportunity to collect
feedback directly from players. We’ll be using that feedback over the summer to
help us focus our efforts where they are most needed and deliver the best
possible experience when we launch in the fall.”
Readers of the LEGO Club Magazine, one of the world’s biggest magazines for
kids, have a special treat in store for them in the June issue. The magazine,
which is sent to almost four million households, has a full page dedicated to
the game where readers are urged to take part in a voting process which will
determine what exclusive minifigure they will receive for free through a special
code in the September issue of the magazine. The minifigure will only be
available to those with a code, and LEGO Club readers get to decide which
minifigure it is!

I notice LEGO isn’t promoting this one as heavily as they did LEGO Universe. And
it seems remarkably similar.
