LEGO Worlds Update 2 Will Bring a Map

A short while ago, we reported that LEGO Worlds was getting a patch soon, as well as eventually some things like local co-op.

TT Games have posted to the Steam Community about the upcoming patch -- no, there's no sign of multiplayer yet. Update 2, as they are calling it (because it's the second update), will contain mainly bugfixes, but it will also have a few new features.

The main one will be a map:

Map – Never get lost again, unless like us you can’t actually read a map... Anyway, you can’t miss it – it’s got some great features like adding and removing waypoints ( also appear as beams in the world) and different zoom levels. You can tune it up or turn it off too, and just have the beams – let us know how you use it.

That will aid things when you're building underwater:

Underwater – Explore and build underwater. If you find yourself running out of air, try the sub or one of those characters that can breathe (or doesn’t need to breathe) underwater…

Or if you place your house up in the air with the new Virtual Floor:

Virtual Floor – We’ve added a new sub-feature to Brick Building and Tools. This option is an easy way to build in the air, or add detail to a specific layer, or to keep some of your hard work protected while you go crazy creatively. We also slipped in a ‘free’ related feature on the mouse that allows you to place individual bricks in free space at the cross-hair cursor, rather like when using a controller, without altering the way it works normally.

And just like Batman: Arkham Knight, they are putting in a camera mode, so you can take pictures of your buildings with your LEGO person.

There's a bunch more, but until they have a firm release date in mind, we can't guarantee a full list of changes. Of course, we will keep you up to date.
