After a vague tease from the official Apple Arcade Twitter account, LEGO Star Wars: Castaways () by Gameloft was officially announced for release next month on the service. The original teaser Tweet had people speculating about vastly different games. I expected some old + game, but the announcement was quite surprising. I think the overall impact of LEGO Star Wars: Castaways for some is lessened because we already had LEGO Star Wars Battles arrive a few weeks ago. LEGO Star Wars: Castaways is an online social action adventure LEGO Star Wars game where you create your own custom LEGO minifigure character and set off on adventures with friends on a new planet. You will also be able to relive classic Star Wars moments. Check out a screenshot from LEGO Star Wars: Castaways below:
