Warner extends LEGO rights to 2016

Warner Bros. and LEGO have struck a deal enabling TT Games to turn out LEGO game after LEGO game until 2016.

This allows the publisher to "further expand our slate of widely recognised, family-friendly games".

To date, the LEGO-styled takes on Star Wars, Batman and Indiana Jones have sold nearly 50m units worldwide.

Harry Potter will be the next famous licence to be given a LEGO makeover, with Years 1-4 due out on most formats in May.
