Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens officially announced

After the leak earlier today, here's the official news from Warner and Traveler's Tales. Despite the PS blog blanking it, there is a Vita version. It looks like portable gamers will again miss out on the DLC content for some reason. But, hopefully, as with Avengers it should be closer to the full console experience.
Warner says the game will introduce brand new gameplay mechanics to build, battle and fly through the galaxy, as well as new story content exploring the time between Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, providing additional insight about the new movie and its characters.

It takes players deep into the new film with all of the heroes and villains from the movie, including Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and BB-8, as well as Kylo Ren, General Hux and Captain Phasma, plus locations including Jakku and Starkiller Base.



This action-packed adventure introduces new gameplay features, including the enhanced “Multi-Builds” system, where players can choose from multiple building options to advance the game. Gamers will be able to engage in intense new Blaster Battles for the first time, utilizing surrounding environments to drive back the First Order.



Fans can also experience the thrill of high-speed flight gameplay through arena-based battles and dogfights in space, while utilizing a multitude of vehicles along the way, including the legendary Millennium Falcon.
