Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will have players doing more than reliving the plot of the movie.
A new trailer for the game (which comes out June 28 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and PC) shows off new adventures that take place outside of the plot of the films. These stories feature new dialogue from The Force Awaken‘s cast, including Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron. The Force Awakens was a huge blockbuster that set a record for domestic box office gross with $936,234,288, and the Lego games have always sold well thanks to their wide appeal. Together, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens seems like a guaranteed hit.

The original Lego Star Wars, which retold the events of the prequel trilogy, came out back in 2005. Its success created a Lego video game empire that has covered film franchises like Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings. Most Lego games focus on more than one movie, so it makes sense that The Force Awakens adaptation is including some bonus stories.
