Warner Bros. announces Lego Battles (which means Lego Ninjas vs. Lego Pirates)

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Hellbent Games and TT Games have announced the Summer 2009 release of the DS game Lego Battles

According to the press release, Lego Battles promises to be a strategy game (with no indication of how much real-time combat there will be) with the “trademark humor and endless customization of Lego.” It will include 90 levels, six stories and combine kits themes Space, Castle and Pirates. Gamers will be able to mix and match 55 different units from all three themes and use 30 vehicles and wirelessly (unfortunately through multicard) battle each other on land, sea and in air.

Looking at the cover there are pirates, little dudes in space outfits, knights, British soldiers and waitamoment.

Could it be?
