The LEGO Universe MMO could well prove to be one of the most bizarre in the genre, but given the huge success of the LEGO games – representing Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman – there is clearly a market for it.

The MMO will revolve around building whatever you like out of an infinite supply of LEGO bricks, which can then be placed in your own reserved space or out into the wider game environment. Players will then be able to interact with these creations in a variety of ways.

The main focus of the beta testing is going to be ironing out bugs, as they explain on their website:

“Sign up now for your opportunity to become one of our chosen heroes that must answer the call. Your mission is to test LEGO Universe for bugs, so prepare yourself to strap on your suit of armor and help your friends battle the dark forces of the Maelstrom.”

Anyone wanting to take part can sign up for the beta testing with their LEGO ID. There is still no final release date for the game as of yet.
