TT Games, the UK studio behind the popular LEGO® games franchise, has announced the appointment of a new studio head. Micheal Denny will take up the role, which will see the studio revaluate its current focus. This could mean they work on non-LEGO based titles for the first time in years. Or we could start seeing different LEGO titles come from the studio. Hopefully it will not mark an end to the LEGO games entirely. TT Games and TT Fusion are currently working on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, with their new mobile studio, also working on a LEGO Star Wars title. Hopefully this change will merely result in a brighter future for LEGO titles.
