LEGO is creating an internal development studio to handle future video games. The company's history with gaming stretches all the way back to the original LEGO Island in 1997, which led to a host of tie-ins for the its various product lines. Starting with 2005’s LEGO Star Wars, most LEGO games have been developed by Traveler’s Tales, and have spanned across several major franchises like Marvel, DC, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and more.
