The Lego Movie got snubbed in the nominations for the Academy Awards, but Nexon will honor the brick-building brand with a new role-playing game for mobile devices.

Tokyo-based Nexon said that its South Korean division will partner with TT Games, an affiliate of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, to make a mobile game for both Android and iOS devices. The game will be based on several hit Lego properties, including Lego Ninjago. While Lego games have been hits on consoles, the block-building brand has yet to experience any sustained success in the $25 billion mobile-gaming market.
