So, how many have heard or seen this video before?
I’m… rather surprised about this. I thought a project like this would have died a long while ago, given how most fan project i see in the LEGO community usually doesn’t last for too long before people lose interest.
I saw this on BS01, what platform are they releasing it on, and is it free?
i don’t really know. I would guess they would release it for the pc and have it be free, because i doubt LEGO would allow them to release it for money.
The release dare in the trailer is August 10, 2019. As for the price, I certainly hope it will be free and on Steam.
Is this like a completely new game or is it a rebuilt of the cancelled 2001 Legend of Mata Nui game?
From what I can gather from the trailer, it’s more like your latter guess.
Ah, yes!
You see, some people actually uncovered a lot of the old game that hadn’t previously been playable. Some kind of development copy got leaked and these guys got a hold of it. As the name implies, they’ve effectively been rebuilding the game themselves for about a year now.
The original game was released, but it was broken and unfinished and you weren’t able to play past Onua’s stage. Until the development copy got leaked, literally everyone thought it was lost forever.
As far as pricing, I don’t know if they ever even contacted LEGO to officially hash that matter out. When they first got the disk there was debate over whether or not it was even legal to be rebuilding it, considering the game is still very much LEGO’s property and was leaked without permission. The best they were hoping for was that it might have been so old that LEGO would have basically disowned and ignored it by now. I’m betting everything it’s going to be free anyways, for legal reasons.
Here was TTV’s original news about it:
Ye I have seen it
Here’s hoping it stays up long enough to get a copy of; this game has immensely piqued my interest.
So, disclaimer, I’m not part of the Litestone Team. All this they have said themselves.
Yes, It is free. Asked on the LJ Johnsen podcast by me, here was the response: 
I believe the Beta and Alpha are already on BMP and I am assuming (UNCONFIRMED) the final version will be on BMP as well[quote=“LegoDavid, post:5, topic:49723, full:true”]

Oh! okay, I forgot. Never really used them.
