While 2K and Sumo Digital both refused to comment on the VGC report from yesterday, The LEGO Group has chosen to officially announce the existence of the LEGO 2K driving game today with a fictional LEGO-universe newscast that acknowledges the report. Though the Sumo-helmed soccer game was not mentioned, Visual Concepts’ racing game has been officially confirmed and will be formally announced with the release of a trailer on March 23.

The “LEGO 2K Drive” images that surfaced along with Insider Gaming’s report have since been taken down, but those who have seen them can rest assured that the driving game is in fact in development. The confirmation lends credibility to the reports’ other leaks as well, which include the aforementioned soccer game and a third game that involves a major sport franchise.

For now, stay tuned here at MP1st for all upcoming details and announcements about the LEGO/2K partnership, and our coverage of the LEGO 2K Drive trailer on Thursday.
