Since its announcement in March, LEGO 2K Drive has been revving up fans with a weekly episode on the Awesome News Network. Found on the LEGO 2K HUB YouTube Page, the Awesome News Network is a weekly show designed to inform fans all about the features of LEGO 2K Drive.
Four episodes in, the Awesome News Network has so far covered the different Biomes of Bricklandia, driving mechanics, drifting, boosting and challenges you can complete while racing. Challenges in LEGO 2K Drive include “defending against aliens and robots to a “relaxing” game of red brick green brick.”
There’s a tonne to cover for LEGO 2K Drive and the Awesome News Network is the best place to start.
