On November 14, LEGO Horizon Adventures launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, quickly making the reality of more buildable sets seem more likely than ever. Less than a week after the title's release, many fan's dreams have come true, with some familiar faces scheduled to appear on player's shelves in the near future.
Lego Horizon Adventures: Beginner Tips and Tricks
Though Lego Horizon Adventures is straightforward, some players may get confused. Here are some tips to help you throughout your journey in the game.
In a post on the official PlayStation Blog, Tim Symons, the Lead Producer of Franchise Development at Guerrilla Games, announced that a new LEGO Horizon Adventures Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth playset will be released on March 1, 2025 for $44.99. Coming in at 768 pieces, the previously leaked Horizon LEGO set will feature protagonist Aloy along with her friend and ally Varl, both armed and ready to take on the terrifying Shell-Walker and Sawtooth as they fight to defend their people and understand the truth of their world. Both machines feature posable parts, and the Shell-Walker's cargo pod and energy shield can be detached. The set is available for pre-order now at LEGO.com.

LEGO Horizon Adventures has been met with mixed reviews, with many complimenting the game's colorful graphics and combat mechanics while criticizing its repetition and level design. Many players have also expressed frustration with the game's length, as most can finish the main story in under six hours. While this isn't inherently a bad thing, for a game costing $59.99, many players expected much more content. While LEGO Horizon Adventures isn't winning over every fan of the franchise, those more interested in physical LEGO bricks have something to look forward to next spring.
The future of the Horizon series is bright, with multiple projects currently in the pipeline. A recent job listing from Guerrilla hints at a new Horizon game coming in early 2025, which may be the confirmed live-service multiplayer title many fans have been eager to get their hands on for years. Developers haven't announced when players can expect the third mainline entry in the series, though many believe it will take Aloy across the ocean to explore new landscapes beyond those found in North America.
