Even the most cynical of grown gamers can appreciate a childhood throwback. Funcom has opened up closed beta test registrations for their project LEGO Minifigures Online. The game is set to release sometime in the second half of 2014, and will host an open beta test prior to launch. Based on the screenshots and trailer, it appears that Funcom is making good progress thus far.

One can't help but recall the previous online LEGO endeavor LEGO Universe, a short-lived game which shutdown after 15 months for "unsatisfactory revenue". The Lego Group has chosen to go with developer Funcom, as opposed to developing it in-house. Will Minifigures have the pieces that Universe was missing? Perhaps, though it's too early to tell.

Let's sign up for the closed beta, cross our bricks and find out together.
