Indeed, given how Mincraft took inspiration from LEGO (albeit in digital form), you could see this as closing the circle.Each game of LEGO Worlds starts in a randomly generated environment. LEGO Worlds catches the essence of the Minecraft series adds it to the LEGO universe.
The game is currently still under construction (get it) in Steam's Early Access, but you can purchase it now in its unfinished state. And to get this out of the way, it could just have easily have been called LEGO Minecraft.
