Future content revealed

The developers told us about a few things they have in store for future updates. One is player-vs-player interactions. Right now it’s a team game—everyone vs. the Maelstrom. You do fight bad guys and monsters, but you don’t fight each other. However, they do have some PvP systems they’ve been working on and plan to release next year—they just didn’t feel like they really fit into the current story line and wanted to save it for later.

There are also plans to have seasonal aspects to the game: during the winter, some worlds will have snow which will have some effects on gameplay and things you can collect; but once the season is over then the snow goes away and you have to wait until the next time it rolls around. Since the release date is so close to Halloween they won’t be revealing any special Halloween things this year, but they definitely have plans for next year.

While there currently are not plans for releasing Lego Universe for gaming consoles, NetDevil is certainly interested and said that there shouldn’t be any problems making it work from a technical standpoint—it’s more of a legal issue that the “guys in suits and ties” have to figure out. That’s also the same for other franchises such as Lego Star Wars or Lego Harry Potter. Right now they won’t make an appearance because of all the different property owners that would have to be involved and also because they wouldn’t fit in the story. However, NetDevil is also open to working with other Lego franchises down the road if that becomes possible.

That article was written last year. According to it, PvP and a Halloween world are coming out sometime this year. And, after finally deciding to dig through Brickmodels, I've found some models for the Halloween world as well! I'll get screenshots up when I can. So, what do you think? I'm hoping for the return of this: http://legouniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Monarch's_Tomb

Sorry, but I doubt this article. Wouldn't we have found the files for the Haloween world now? Plus, LEGO Universe was only DEVELOPED by Net Devil, many things have changed.

This article is 100% accurate, it stems from an actual interview with one of the ND members, if I recall correctly.

To say a halloween world would be released is merely speculation. They never said we would see a Halloween world, just some Halloween elements. Those elements have been uncovered as upcoming models, and have been uploaded here:

It remains possible that such a world could be released. Past the Nexus Tower, we do not know what worlds they will release, aside from Siege and CTF mini games.
