Today may mark 11 years since LEGO Universe closed, but it's not a sad day; anyone who wants to play LEGO Universe again can, thanks to our open-source release back in 2021! Instead, we reflect today on some of the best changes we've had since release.

It's a great day for LEGO Universe fans who miss the music; for the first time ever, the remastered soundtrack has just been released on streaming platforms. :)
"If you've lived a game, you really love it and you've been in that world. It is like a memory when you hear the music. It’s beyond nostalgia, it's an emotional connection,” Brian Tyler discusses the LEGO Universe soundtrack on Bits N’ Bricks.

Hello Explorers!
We heard you loud and clear. We've been quiet and haven't shared as much as we should've.
While we don't have any dates to announce, we have multiple tests planned for the time leading up to Closed Beta. We'll even have a few ways to join the tests... :)

We've received a lot of questions about this; if you choose to host a server and open it up to people, this is something you are legally liable for.
We do not suggest hosting public servers and you do so at your own risk.

So, I've been working on mounts in DLU, and wanted to share some progress! I got them to work as they were in Live, but I noticed there were more animations unused, like quick building and attacking. Quick builds were easy
