Minecraft takes quite a few pages from LEGO and its system of building bricks. Turnabout is fair play, so it makes sense that LEGO would borrow some ideas from Minecraft.

The just-announced LEGO Worlds video game looks like exactly that — LEGO's very own version of Minecraft. Hot on the heels of LEGO Dimensions, Warner Bros. Interactive and TT Games' new toys-to-life competitor, comes this, the developers' next big thing.

Put simply, LEGO Worlds is an open world canvas where players can create anything they want with the game's digital building tools. Instead of a little block-headed guy, you'll play as a Minifigure that you customize, but the rest of the game seems very similar to Minecraft (only better looking) — with a dash of Disney Infinity's Toy Box thrown in.

You'll start out on a procedurally-generated world made entirely of LEGO Bricks. It might come as a shock to the system of LEGO gamers when they arrive on one of these worlds and find that every part of the environment is destructible and able to be manipulated. If you see it, you can change it. Special in-game tools simplify the construction process, thanks to large shape tools that create multiple bricks. TT Games says that every world has secrets to discover, such as new Minifigures, vehicles and classic LEGO buildings.

The PC-only game is available now from Steam Early Access for $15. As with all Early Access titles, LEGO Worlds is considered an alpha build of the game, provided to players in advance so that the developers can gather feedback on what can be improved and what new features should be added. LEGO Worlds is expected to remain in Early Access for at least the rest of 2015, with updates and features added regularly.

If TT Games is smart, built-in video recording will be one of the first additions made to the game. With such a wide open world to play in, LEGO Worlds could usher in a whole new era of LEGO fan films. Who needs stop-motion when you can just hop into a game world and "act"?

This trailer shows off how easily worlds can be built and destroyed.
