Earlier this year NetDevil and Lego joined forces to work on a Lego based MMO title. Today they have announced that the game will be called Lego Universe and will hit retailers some time in 2008.

The game will include all the features an MMO gamer would expect but in a child-safe environment. Player will be able to customise characters and also advance their characters as they progress while taking part in expansive social and community features.

"LEGO Universe ties together all aspects of our community and line of products in an online environment that can be enjoyed by LEGO fans of all ages," said Mark William Hansen, Director of Business Development, LEGO Universe. "By merging the online world of social interaction with the LEGO concept of play, LEGO Universe will provide our community with an entirely new way to experience LEGO and connect with other players in a fun and imaginative setting."

"LEGO Universe is being built as a place where fans and community members can discover nearly unlimited play possibilities," said Ryan Seabury, NetDevil Lead Producer on LEGO Universe. "Given the strength of the LEGO community, a large part of bringing the game to life will be working hand in hand with them to ensure that the core values of creativity, connectivity, and imagination are reflected in the end product."
