There will be a full-scale launch on 26th October, but the game will be sold through LEGO stores, the LEGO Online Shop and LEGOLand from 12th October.

LEGO Universe is a massively multiplayer online game developed by NetDevil.

It's set in a universe where players help the people of the LEGO Universe fight off the Maelstrom (a dark force of some sort) and its army of Stromlings (gits).
