As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a twinge of regret upon witnessing the leaked trailer for the canceled LEGO James Bond game. I remember the golden age of Bond video games, from Goldeneye to 007 Nightfire, and the thought of a humorous, brick-filled spinoff was tantalizingly close.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing about the leaked footage from an abandoned James Bond 007 video game. After all, James Bond is more than just a character; he’s an iconic figure in literature and popular culture, known for his impeccable style, witty one-liners, distinct name, and much more.
Fortunately, a fresh James Bond video game is on the horizon, this time developed by Hitman creators IO Interactive. We can only hope that we won’t have to wait too long for more details. The upcoming 007 game is rumored to feature an original story penned by IO Interactive, rather than adapting a movie script with one of the film actors. Unfortunately, specifics about the project remain scarce. It’s also worth mentioning that there was nearly another James Bond game in the late 2010s, and it certainly deviated from typical expectations.
Back in 2016, Traveler’s Tales, known for their work on the LEGO series of games, proposed a LEGO James Bond game to The LEGO Group. They created a trailer showcasing how iconic scenes from the Bond films could be recreated using LEGO pieces. Reddit user kecskecske6 has shared this trailer. Scenes from movies like Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, and The Man with the Golden Gun are included, along with a humorous take on the famous gun barrel opening sequence. The different Bonds in the trailer have unique appearances, such as a blonde Daniel Craig-era Bond compared to the darker-haired previous Bonds. Although the trailer is quite unfinished, it gives us a glimpse of how Traveler’s Tales might have infused their signature humor into the James Bond universe and produced an entertaining game based on the spy’s most memorable escapades. The developer has also suggested similar treatment for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones films, as well as original games centered around Marvel and DC superheroes.

Despite being highly successful, unfortunately, a LEGO James Bond game would not be released because The LEGO Group declined it. According to Reddit user and moderator of r/legogaming, LEGOGameMuseum, a former developer shared that the game was turned down due to the violent and suggestive nature of the James Bond films, along with characters like Pussy Galore. It proved challenging to create a family-friendly version of the game because of these elements. A similar proposal from 2005 also didn’t make it past development for the same reasons.
Over the past few years, LEGO has been creating sets for more mature themes, such as the James Bond series. For instance, there was a set based on the film “No Time to Die” which included 007 and his Aston Martin. It’s unclear if this will lead to a potential LEGO James Bond video game, but it certainly seems promising given how enjoyable it would be, considering the next James Bond movie is still in production – they’re currently working on casting the new James Bond.
007 Legends, released in 2012, marked the end of the Activision era for James Bond games. It was a compilation of James Bond’s most iconic adventures, coinciding with the release of Skyfall. The game featured Daniel Craig’s Bond character in various eras of the franchise, including Moonraker and Die Another Day. Regrettably, the game received poor reviews, which may have contributed to Activision’s decision to abandon further James Bond titles. Additionally, it seems that the Broccoli family decided to pause future James Bond video games as a result.
