Mark Zuckerberg teased augmented reality Lego yesterday — and sure enough, the Meta Quest 3 headset will offer a Lego AR game.

Lego Bricktales will arrive December 7th for $29.99, and supports the Quest 2 and Quest Pro as well, though Quest 2 doesn’t have color passthrough so your surroundings would look black and white.
