The actors who portrayed them on the big screen &#8211; Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Anthony Daniels, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie and Max von Sydow &#8211; are all lending their voices to the game.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from serving as an adaptation, the game will also bridge the gap between Ep 6: Return of the Jedi and Ep 7: The Force Awakens. If you opt for the Deluxe Edition, you will get a Season Pass and a Lego mini-figure of Finn.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens - E3 2016 Trailer | PS4, PS3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iOL5cKOkST4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">7 Days to Die<\/h3>\n<p><strong>28 June 2016\u00a0(Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To everyone\u2019s dissatisfaction, local co-op games have become a neglected focus in the gaming industry, but The Fun Pimps\u2019 zombie shooter, 7 Days to Die, which releases this week, is fully embracing it.<\/p>\n<p>7 Days to Die is an open-world zombie survival game which blends FPS, survival horror, tower defence and RPG \u2013 but best of all, it features split-screen. Online multiplayer modes are also available, but the addition of split-screen \u201cjust makes sense\u201d according to the developers.
