And I thought I’ve seen it all.

LEGO Universe, an MMO game due in 2010, is in development and by the artworks screenshots, it looks very interesting. Let us show you the artworks first.

We like it so far. Now, let’s see how it would translated to the virtual 3D world.

We’re surprised to see so many varieties even before any releases. If you want explanations to the screenshots, here they are:

• “Spaceship” – A rapidly disintegrating spaceship is the dramatic setting for the first location in LEGO Universe. Players must familiarize themselves with their minifig avatar and build a rocket to exit the zone safely.
• “Pirates” – In a rocky cove on the edge of Gnarled Forest, pirates offload cargo from their ship and ponder how it came to be stuck in a tree.
• “Battle” – Minifigs take on a hostile robotic creature, while in the background, evidence of a breakout signals that a potentially greater menace awaits.
• “Build Challenge” – In Gnarled Forest, minifigs prepare to cross a broken bridge that stands high over a menacing ravine. Tension and excitement build as they work together to problem-solve and repair the collapsed overpass.

LEGO Universe will have monthly subscription fee once it begins its service. You can find out more about LEGO Universe at their official website – http://www.legouniverse.com
