Traveller’s Tales is a British video game developer founded in 1989 by Jon Burton, based in Knutsford, Cheshire. The studio is responsible for the LEGO game series, one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, beginning with LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game in 2005. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment acquired the studio in 2007, and it now operates as TT Games Studios under that ownership. The LEGO franchise has sold over 200 million copies across all entries.
Jon Burton founded Traveller’s Tales as a teenager in 1989, initially developing games for the Amiga and Atari ST. The studio’s early output included Sonic 3D Blast for the Sega Genesis and Saturn in 1996, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped for the Game Boy Color in 1998. Before LEGO, Traveller’s Tales developed several well-received original and licensed games across PlayStation and PC platforms. The studio built technical expertise across multiple platforms and licensing relationships that directly informed its eventual LEGO partnership with the LEGO Group.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game released in April 2005 and established the template every subsequent LEGO game would follow for two decades. Two-player local co-op with drop-in and drop-out functionality, destructible environments filled with collectible LEGO studs, character-specific abilities required to unlock secrets, and silent physical comedy that conveyed story beats without dialogue. The game covered the prequel trilogy and was followed by LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy in 2006, with LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga combining both in 2007. The formula was so successful that Traveller’s Tales applied it to Batman, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel, DC, Jurassic World, and eventually every major licensed property Warner Bros. could secure.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment acquired Traveller’s Tales in 2007, providing the studio with publisher support and access to the full Warner Bros. IP library. The studio released multiple LEGO titles per year across the following decade, producing simultaneous multiplatform releases for each major property. TT Fusion, a sister studio based in Wilmslow, handled handheld versions of the same games. The studio was renamed TT Games Studios under Warner Bros. in 2021.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga released in April 2022 as the studio’s most ambitious project, covering all nine mainline Star Wars films with a rebuilt engine, open-world planet exploration, a new over-the-shoulder combat system, and over 300 playable characters. It was in development for four years and became the best-selling LEGO game ever, selling over five million copies in its first week. The scale represented a significant departure from the simpler structure of earlier LEGO games, with an open galaxy hub replacing the traditional mission select screen.
