After an extended period of silence, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga took to the stage at Gamescom. There, not only did fans receive an epic new trailer, but a new release window. While many were hoping for an actual release date or that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was targeting holiday 2021, it is good to know that the game is releasing in Spring 2022.
Delays are understandable in the game industry, especially now with COVID still impacting many developers’ capacity for work. The silver lining here is that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga isn’t likely to be delayed again, given that its indefinite delay has resulted in an extra year of development time. As such, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is one of many games slated for Spring next year.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Release Date
If Traveller’s Tales has an internal release date it is pursuing, that’s not known to the public. And this window is filled with multiple times a game may release. However, in looking at all of it, there is just one that’s perfect for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Spring officially begins on March 20, 2022, and ends on June 21, 2022.
In the game industry, there is some room for “fudging” what Spring may mean, as a game could launch in early March and be considered a spring release, while a game releasing in June is also likely to be heralded as a summer release. No matter how one looks at it, though, May 4, also known as Star Wars Day, falls squarely into Spring 2022.
May 4 would be a prime candidate for the game’s release date. Typically, the game industry celebrates with Star Wars video game announcements or various sales/deals, but it would be a prime time for a Spring Star Wars game to actually release. Of course, picking one day out of an entire season is nowhere near accurate, is complete speculation, and is unlikely to be the case. But, to celebrate Star Wars Day with a new Star Wars game sounds like a match made in heaven.
Aside from the several other dates the game could fall on, May 4 does have one inherent flaw. Video games typically release on Tuesday or Friday, for one reason or another, and May 4 falls on a Wednesday. This doesn’t necessarily take it out of the running, as rules are made to be broken, but it doesn’t help its already unlikely case. At the very least, hopefully, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is playable on or by May 4, to take part in the celebrations.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga releases Spring 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
