Star Warsfans have been given a steady stream of content over the past few years thanks to various films, television shows, and other pieces of media. There is one piece ofStar Warscontent, however, that has been consistently elusive, and that isLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The next installment in the long-runningLEGOfranchise has been on the radar ofStar Warsfans for a few years now, but a series of delays has kept it out of the hands of hopeful gamers on multiple occasions. Fortunately, it seems things are starting to look up for the highly anticipated release ofLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Since August of last year, fans have known thatLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais supposed to come out in the spring of 2022. The game has been given release windows that are subject to change like this in the past, butrecent rumblings onThe Skywalker Saga’s release have been cause for some optimism. There’s a prevailing sense that the game might actually come out when developer TT Games says it will, so now it’s just a matter of spreading the word. If there’s any stage for gaming announcements that gets a lot of attention at the beginning of a new year, it’s Nintendo’s famed Direct events.

Nintendo’s First Direct Of 2022 Could Help The Skywalker Saga A Lot
It’s no secret at this point thatLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagahas had some development troubles. Between the ongoing pandemic andTT Games' decision to completely overhaul theLEGOformulafor this entry,The Skywalker Sagahas become one of the biggest projects in the developer’s history. This has resulted in numerous delays and a minimal amount of marketing for the game, but ifThe Skywalker Sagamakes an appearance at the first Nintendo Direct of 2022, it could improve the game’s image across the board.
The first Direct of each year usually gets a lot of eyes on it, as it will often lay out Nintendo’s plans for the near and distant future. 2022’s first Nintendo Direct is no exception, as many fans are anticipatingannouncements onBreath of the Wild 2and other projects.
IfLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagacould find its way into the event, it could benefit the game much more than any other announcement thanks to the spectacle of a Nintendo Direct. Gamers that might not have watched a new trailer from just seeing it online will now see it as part of Nintendo’s show, giving the game an extensive amount of exposure, and seeingThe Skywalker Sagaduring such a major event could reassure wary fans that the game is still coming.
What The Skywalker Saga Would Have To Show At Nintendo’s First 2022 Direct
In order to have a truly memorable showing atNintendo’s first Direct of 2022,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagawould have to make the announcement that fans have been waiting months for. If the game really is going to come out in the spring of this year, and the first Direct of 2022 hypothetically takes place within the next few weeks,The Skywalker Sagawould have to give fans some kind of solid release date. Spring may seem far away, but in terms of video game marketing, there isn’t a whole lot of time left for TT Games to make a final decision and start dispersing promotional material to support a strong release.
It should be said that there’s no official word on when Nintendo’s first Direct of 2022 is going to take place, or ifLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagawill make any kind of appearance, but it’s hard to deny just how good of an opportunity it would be. TheLEGOfranchise has become a staple of the video game industry over the last two decades, andthe sheer scale ofThe Skywalker Sagalooks to be a culmination of that long history. Fans have maintained a Jedi-like patience forThe Skywalker Sagafor years now, and capitalizing on the first Nintendo Direct of 2022 could be just the pay-off many have been waiting for.
