Here’s a quick recap:

– Additional feature the team is hoping to discuss soon
– Adhoc / LAN multiplayer this year
– Next patch will add online multiplayer, improve performance
– Decided against IP tie-ins to keep LEGO Worlds apart from other games
– Will add more LEGO-exclusive IPs
– Will be adding an automatic house builder called the “Planner”
– Team will add feature updates and improve existing ones like menus and the way tools behave
– “Survivor” game mode planned
– Easier to port to Switch than other consoles since most of the work was already done when the game was ported to other consles
– Gyroscopic aiming controls will be considered
– Took about five months to make the Switch versions
