Warner Bros. has announced its Minecraft-like open-world game, LEGO Worlds, is coming to consoles in February 2017.

The digital brick-building game - which has been available via Steam Early Access since last year - will also feature online multiplayer to allow players to explore each other's worlds.

The game promises "fun to fantastical" environments where "worlds come to life with a dizzying variety of vehicles and creatures – from cowboys riding giraffes to vampires scaring Yetis, to steamrollers, racing cars and colossal digging machines". Players can simply build their own creations and bring them to life, brick by brick.

"In LEGO Worlds, players will go on an exciting journey to become a Master Builder, in an open-world made completely of LEGO-built environments,” said Jonathan Smith, head of production at TT Games. “Whether customising characters, exploring in vehicles, building structures, or discovering an expansive range of items, characters and creatures throughout the worlds, there’s the freedom to create anything imaginable.”

“LEGO Worlds brings the very essence of LEGO play – building – to the digital world, more than ever before,” added Niels Jørgensen, VP for digital games for LEGO. “We are excited to bring our physical and digital play models closer together and know it will resonate with our core audience – and engage new ones.

"We believe LEGO Worlds has the potential to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through its experience of open-ended creative play.”

A Lego Agents DLC pack, featuring "new characters, vehicles, weapons and more from the Agents range of play materials" will be intitially exclusive to PlayStation for the first 90 days.

LEGO Worlds will release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 24, 2017 in the UK (precise release dates for other terriorities have yet to be confirmed, but are expected to be in February 2017).
