NetDevil has announced the launch of a new web games division as well as the development of Lego Racers, an online racing game based off the Lego brand of toys. This web-based flash game is being aimed towards children and is currently planned for release early next year.

“NetDevil has proven a valuable partner that truly understands what the LEGO play experience is all about,” said Kelly J. McKiernan, Internet Content Manager on LEGO Racers. “The company’s high-quality work on the LEGO Universe MMO made them an easy choice for LEGO Racers, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them to give fans of LEGO a whole new way to interact with some of our most popular franchises.”

Lego Racers will have players defeat a myriad of the best racers to become “the greatest LEGO racing champion of all-time.” Players will be able to own up to five cars from ten teams with different attributes. These cars can be modified and upgraded. Online races can be watched live and the game will also contain an offline component; there will also be a leaderboard, listing the best players in the game.
