Warner Bros. already announced that LEGO City Undercover is heading to Switch. On top of that, it looks like we can expect LEGO Worlds on the platform as well.

TT Games head of design Arthur Parsons confirmed on Twitter:

Warner Bros. describes LEGO Worlds as “an open environment of procedurally-generated worlds made entirely of LEGO bricks which you can freely manipulate and dynamically populate with LEGO models.” The game lets users make anything and everything one brick at a time or by taking advantage of large-scale landscaping tools. Characters and creatures interact with you as well as each other in various ways.

As previously announced, Switch will be present at PAX South in just a few days. Nintendo shared more details about its plans for the expo today.

Anyone with a PAX South badge can stop by and play games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2-Switch, Snipperclips: Cut it out, together!, Splatoon 2, Arms, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Bomberman R, and Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers.

As for the setup, Nintendo sent over the following:

“The main stage at the Nintendo booth will feature hands-on time with different Nintendo Switch games. But instead of a traditional booth setup, these games can be experienced in creative environments that show off the unique functionality of the Nintendo Switch system. For example, games can be played in the cross-section of an airplane to show how easy it is to take Nintendo Switch with you anywhere. Other games will be set up in a living room to highlight that Nintendo Switch is also a home gaming system that can be played on a TV. In addition to all the awesome Nintendo Switch experiences, the main stage at the Nintendo booth will feature hosted competitions, live demonstrations, video presentations and other fun Nintendo surprises.”

PAX South 2017 will take place between January 27 and January 29. Nintendo’s interactive booth (No. 11255) will be open from 10 AM to 6 PM each day.
