This may not be the most exciting LEGO news but if you are a fan of mobile gaming experiences then you might be interested to hear that a new LEGO game is hitting app stores (App Store & Google Play) later this year.
LEGO Towers is an all new take on the Tiny Towers game from NimbleBit. The game enables you to construct a wide range of apartments and businesses for your Minifigure residents to live, work and play in.
When it comes to mobile games there is always a concern that they are going to be packed with microtransactions but hopefully that isn’t the case here. The press release does say that you can visit your friends’ towers and trade items to help them build as well as being able to collect hundreds of unique Minifigure pieces and discover hidden characters. It’s unclear how the trading will work at this stage.
You can find the press release below.

It’s sparked a lot of the feelings of creativity and joy we’ve experienced ourselves while playing with LEGO since we were young.”

Note: I assume this is Northern summer, so our winter
I loved SimTower back in the day. Also nice to see such an old set like the tower crane so prominently featured.
