More Lego Warner Bros games coming
UK based Traveller's Tales has had a major cash cow in the past few years with its ownership of the Lego game series. The many Lego Star Wars games have been huge best sellers and the more recent Lego Indiana Jones game was also a sales hit. In 2007, Traveller's Tales was bought by Warner Bros. Interactive for a reported $200 million and the developer's first game for the company, Lego Batman, will be released this fall.
In a new Variety interview, Traveller's Tales president Jon Burton states that we can expect even more Lego games from the developer, stating, "We've gotten started doing some LEGO games on the Warner IP... down the line." It's possible we could see games based of Warner Bros. properties like a Lego Superman, Lego Harry Potter and other titles. Burton also sees the company expanding beyond games, saying I think further in the future we're making a kids' TV show... using some of the tech we've developed for games."

*sigh* More blatant milking. The Lego Star Wars games were novel, Lego Indy looked like fan service for those that liked Lego SW, but do we really need to reach much beyond that? Are the people that bought Lego Indy still going to be going nuts for it once we're up to the 8th game of this style? IMO this is just more corporate execs that haven't played a game themselves since pong with dollar signs in their eyes.
