Funny how my comment was overlooked.

If you look at the Ronin on the game cover and the set Ronin they are different in many ways just look at them side by side.

LEGO® Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin™ / Introduction Hello, my name is Steve Thornton and I am the Game Director of “LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin”. I hope you heard that in an epic movie trailer guy voice with an orchestral riff in the background, because that’s the way I said it. Shadow of Ronin is an extremely exciting project for us for a lot of reasons – but for all the Ninjago fans out there the biggest thing to get excited about is probably how it fits into the ever expanding Ninjago universe.

In the upcoming 2015 TV season the Ninja find themselves visiting a mysterious island where the even more mysterious Master Chen is hosting a martial arts tournament with a twist… all the entrants wield elemental powers. After the thrills, spills and revelations of the tournament the Ninja return to Ninjago Island, only to find themselves under attack from an all new villain: Ronin. And that’s when our game gets started. Our games story not only officially bridges the gap between the Tournament and the upcoming part of the TV season (sorry, no spoilers!) but it will introduce characters, weapons and vehicles that will go on to appear in the show and LEGO playsets later in the year, and even solve a few mysteries that were left unsolved in the show along the way. The whole game team has watched the show and we’ve worked closely with LEGO to ensure that fans will immediately recognise the feel and style of the series in the game, so that together we can contribute a vital and official part of the ongoing Ninjago storyline. The game is also special because it is completely exclusive to handhelds – specifically the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita. Whereas usually our job on handheld is to try and recreate the feel of the console version on the small screen, Shadow of Ronin is a chance for us to develop a game that completely plays to the strengths and features of handhelds, with unique mechanics, levels and design choices. Our emphasis is on dynamic on-the-go gameplay, acrobatic movement and fluid combat, punctuated with traps, puzzles and vehicle missions. The huge range of dragons, jets, Mechs and land vehicles in the show and playsets meant that our game had to follow suit with a huge variety of gameplay types – not only will players get to hack, slash, flip and spin their way through levels, but drive, fly, stomp and slide as well. With over 25 official LEGO sets featured in the game, hardcore Ninjago fans should have no problem spotting their favourite toys and vehicles – including all the brand new 2015 sets that are coming out this year. Even I’m surprised with how much stuff we’ve managed to fit in. Although every IP is fun to work with, it was immediately obvious that Ninjago’s massive versatile world, cool characters, flashy powers and stylish combat make it perfect for adapting into a videogame. You can anticipate a trailer in the near future, but in the meantime myself and other members of the Shadow of Ronin team will hopefully drop by with some updates over the next few weeks.

Thanks for reading,

This is all official guys

Shadow of Ronin is obviously a prequel to the summer story so that hopefully will answer SOME of our questions.

Well she never really broke up with him, she just felt weird around him because of the whole perfect match thing

Her mother is the Elemental Master of Water and her father is the Elemental Master of Fire so put those 2 together and you got Kai and Nya. That is the easiest explanation.

Hey it's been awhile and that is just a amazing theory. It makes a whole lot more sense than the stone armor thing.

OMG that is the best theory I have heard all day! Now I really hope it happens.

It is Nya no doubt about it.

I think we will never know what powered Zane so that is where Fanfic comes in.

OMG!!! Schthickman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I need a translator.

My point exactly.

Let me tell you this, people can have different hairstyles so STOP blaming LEGO for animation errors so stop please. I get really annoyed a this type of stuff.

I would be a good forum mod.

I preordered it, it should be here around 1:00 eastern time.

Maybe I should join the conversation, I will get the Chronicles of Ninjago book tomorrow so I will post pics here.

It's ok.

No I said that there was a possibility that it was real not that it was confirmed to be real.

What is.
