LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming June 28th

The force is still strong with LEGO Star Wars apparently. After just literally wondering out loud about when we may get a new LEGO Star Wars game, Warner Bros. and TT Games have announced LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens for consoles, the PC and portables devices.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is scheduled for a June 28th, 2016 release and will apparently follow the movie plot, and fill in some of the blanks following Return of the Jedi.  PlayStation owners will get extra content at launch, and PS4 and Xbox One players can pick up a Deluxe Edition which includes an exclusive Finn minifigure and season pass content.

Check out the announcement trailer below, and hop on over to Amazon to preorder it. Remember, Prime subscribers get 20% off, (40% at the moment for some reason) (update: not any longer) when pre-ordering.
