LEGO Rock Band teaser trailer
This year’s San Diego Comic-Con has launched, and with it comes loads of trailers. Today we bring you a LEGO Rock Band teaser, complete with ridiculous puns like “Build Your Band”. No gameplay footage was available, so I still won’t be able to know if the frets are going to be LEGO blocks.
The details for the game are quite odd, giving players the ability to “destroy giant robots with killer riffs”. If you’re looking for a true Rock Band title, this probably won’t be your cup of tea; most of the tracks are geared for a younger audience.
LEGO Rock Band is scheduled for a November 30th release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Nintendo DS.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2 features co-op level creation
It appears that co-op level creation will be one of the highlights of the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones sequel, as revealed by LucasArts in the Develop Conference in Brighton.
It would be only natural that a LEGO game would allow you to create maps, so this is a step in the right direction for the franchise. However, level creation is limited to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii systems. No word on whether the feature will be included in the PC, Nintendo DS, or PSP versions of The Adventure Continues.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues will be out in North America on November 20th.

LEGO Harry Potter and Indiana Jones Sequel Confirmed
Home to the LEGO franchise, Traveller’s Tales is now confirmed to be working on both LEGO Harry Potter and a sequel to LEGO Indiana Jones. This comes from an animator at the studio.
"Am currently working as a Cutscene Animator on LEGO Harry Potter & LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which are both in the early stages of production," wrote Carlotte Parker in her online Curriculum Vitae.
The listing has since been removed, though Parker later told VG247 that she is indeed working on both games, but “can’t really talk about them.”
More Lego Games and Children’s Show Coming
Traveller’s Tales, the studio behind Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars, has revealed that they are planning to produce more Lego titles based on properties owned by parent corporation Warner Bros., as well as an upcoming children’s television series.
Company president Jon Burton told Variety that they have “gotten started doing some LEGO games,” though he wouldn’t mention which franchises they are working on. Properties owned by WB include Superman and Harry Potter, among others.
Burton additionally revealed that the company may create a children’s television show in the future, making use of technology originally built for the studio’s video games.
“To be able to dabble around in CG and film would be interesting, and Warner allows me to push in those directions without ‘quitting the day job,’ so to speak,” he said. “Warner allows me to take a step in that direction, and if I suck? Great, I’ll make games.”
