A Trading Card Game based on the upcoming MMO LEGO Universe is currently in development by Dire Wolf Digital. In an agreement made between the two companies, Dire Wolf has obtained the rights to use the LEGO licence for both a physical trading card game and digital products. 

Although nothing is currently released about the mechanics behind the card game, the game's intent is to be very similar to the LEGO Blocks. "We're obviously very excited about LEGO Universe", said the game's Senior Director, Mark William Hansen. "adding a TCG provides additional content as well as a brand new customizable play experience."

LEGO Universe is currently under development by NetDevil. It is currently scheduled to be released on October 26 in North America for both PC and MAC. Please enjoy the trailer from E3 after the jump.
[Update]: An email was sent in order to elaborate what kind of digital products Dire Wolf had received the rights to. Dire Wolf replied saying that they are allowed to produce both a physical and digital version of the TCG. Also, products that tie-into the MMO will likely be available, but nothing is ready to be announced yet.
