Funcom has signed an agreement to develop an MMO based on the popular line of LEGO Minifigures.
The LEGO Group estimates that 340 million minifigures will be produced in 2012, making the toys an excellent choice in a world that has taken Skylanders so warmly to its heart.”The market for family-friendly online experiences intended for children and youngsters is brimming with potential,” says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas.
”Being able to work with a world-renowned brand such as the LEGO brand to develop an MMO for this audience is incredibly exciting to us as game developers and for Funcom as a company. This is source material we all know and love and we simply cannot wait to get started working with the LEGO Group on realizing this exciting project.”
Expect to see this as a browser-based title, as Funcom aim for something adults and children can access easily.
