Ever since LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was indefinitely delayed earlier this year, fans have been patiently waiting for their next update. The game has been rather quiet, however, with the only real chunk of news since then was an off-handed comment from a dev, who commented on the 'fun' and 'misery' of working on Rise of Skywalker content.

As such, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga fans should be sure to tune into Gamescom's dates and times to get the information as soon as possible. Gamescom typically has its biggest announcements during its Opening Night Live ceremony, which is currently scheduled for Wednesday, August 25th, at 11 AM PT/ 2 PM ET. However, Gamescom itself is booked through Friday, August 27th, with more, smaller announcements likely over those couple of days.

The likelihood of the upcoming entry in Traveller's Tales' LEGO Stars Wars franchise appearing at Gamescom Opening Night Live seems incredibly high, due to the amount of hype behind the game and the above teaser. Of course, the next big question is what fans can expect from the show and what they may learn about the game. While this is pure speculation, a new trailer would make the most sense and it might even show off new gameplay and features, but perhaps the most important announcement it could make is a new LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga release date.

With the event happening at the end of August, the most likely scenario seems to be a late holiday release date. It would do well if it released in November or early December this year, but it's also possible the announcement comes with an early 2022 release date. For now, it's impossible to tell, but for those parched for news on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, an end does appear to be in sight.

Marketing would only pick up after Gamescom, and with everything from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's planet and moob hubs and chapter organization of all 9 episodes to plethora of characters and lined-up DLC scream ambition from the franchise. For many fans, it may be that August 25th can't get here soon enough.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
