Lego Minifigures Online Update: Free Game Releases On June 29... But With a Price

Lego Minifigures Online will be available on June 29, the game's developer has announced.

After being a free-to-play game since October 2014, the game will now cost money. The buy-to-play game promises to be more fun that ever before. The game maker has claimed that several months of work went into it to thrill players with unique events, cinematics, voice acting and an engaging storyline besides gameplay additions.

"This really is the definitive version of LEGO Minifigures Online and we are very much looking forward to opening the servers for players to experience it. Not only will it feel like a fresh, new experience for those who have played the earlier free-to-play PC version, there is also so much potential unlocked now that you can play with each other across platforms on a broad range of devices," said Funcom CEO Rui Casais.

The game will also allow players from different platforms play in the same online world. It will release for iOS, PC, Linux, Mac and Android.

"Maybe you are playing on an iPhone while your friend is on an Android tablet and your dad is on a high-powered PC; you'll still play together in the same persistent online world, along with thousands of other LEGO fans from all over the globe," said Casais.

Minifigures Online requires players to collect minifigures and put together a team to tackle challenges in various environments.
