A new LEGO RTS game has been announced for the DS, LEGO Battles. Instead of using characters from various other companies and franchises, LEGO is going to use their own characters; including Space, Castle, and Pirates.

Personally, I would like to see Rock Raiders thrown in the mix, but oh well.

Warner Bros. has announced a new LEGO game and it's actually based on existing LEGO IPs rather than capitalizing on popular franchises. Shocking!

LEGO Battles will feature multiple classes of LEGO characters as they battle it out in in this handheld RTS. The game looks to be offering a lot of levels and a decent sounding single-player experience. LEGO Battles also supports multiplayer with up to three other players. You can get more details on the game from the trailer after the break.
