LEGO Skylines by Paradox Interactive Rated for Release in South Korea

South Korea’s video game ratings board, the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea, has rated LEGO Skylines by Paradox Interactive. In its latest batch of game classifications, the title, published by Paradox Interactive, has been rated as being playable for all users regardless of age, keeping in line with its LEGO trappings.

Interestingly, LEGO Skylines itself has yet to be officially announced by either the LEGO Group or by Paradox Interactive. The company had applied for the rating on March 25th and was ultimately granted it on April 9th. While a game simply getting a rating doesn’t really reveal anything about when it might come out, it does indicate that the game might be just a few months away from release.

The name LEGO Skylines indicates that Paradox Interactive might be tapping into its city-building franchise, Cities: Skylines, for gameplay. This would indicate that we might see a LEGO-themed city builder set in the modern world with simplified gameplay mechanics in order to entice younger audiences to play alongside the typically older fans of the genre.

If Paradox Interactive is going to officially unveil LEGO Skylines soon, the company will likely do it during one of the many summer showcases that will be kicking off later this week, with the Insider Gaming Showcase on May 29th. Depending on the scope of the title, we might also see it instead be shown off during the Summer Game Fest Showcase on June 6th, or, as is typical for city-builders, the PC Gaming Show on June 8th.

LEGO has been seeing a surge of popularity in the gaming world thanks to the recent release of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. The title was launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S to great critical acclaim, and recent rumors have indicated that its developers might already be working on DLC that will introduce Task Force X as allies. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also planned for release at a later date.

In the meantime, this month also saw LEGO 2K Drive being delisted from online storefronts. The driving game, released back in 2023, was developed by Visual Concepts and came out to mixed reviews. We gave it a score of 6 out of 10 in our review, praising its varied visuals and biomes and uninterrupted driving systems, but criticising its inconsistent AI and a lack of challenge in its gameplay systems.

As for other LEGO games, September 2025 saw the release of the puzzle-centric LEGO Voyagers on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Developed by Light Brick Studio, LEGO Voyagers is a co-op game that puts players in the role of two small LEGO bricks that embark on an adventure to rescue an abandoned spaceship. Along the way, the two bricks have to make use of LEGO-inspired gameplay mechanics to solve puzzles and deal with adversaries.

In our review, we gave LEGO Voyagers a score of 7 out of 10 thanks to its use of a Friend Pass alongside its low price tag, as well as its emphasis on teamwork and organic problem-solving. Our only complaints were the frequency of backtracking, monotonous fetch-style mission design, and the poor depth perception offered by its visual style.
