The Unseen Adventure: A Lego James Bond Experience That Never Was

A preview for an unreleased Lego James Bond video game has surfaced online.

While there is minimal information surrounding this leak – it appears to have appeared spontaneously on Iinterni Gamer’s Discord server at 2 am recently – it indicates that at one point, TT Games became excited about a block-themed extravaganza based on Bond.

As of now, the trailer remains available, and various other copies have been uploaded – you might be able to check it out below:

“This trailer was surprisingly leaked on my Discord server, and it’s an official trailer because everything that appears looks identical to the prior trailer but with final designs. It might be on reddit but [I don’t know] for sure,” wrote the uploader in the YouTube description.

Instead of being based on a specific Bond or movie, the teaser showcases a variety of iconic portrayals and films, including Live and Let Die and A View to a Kill. For the first time, a disclaimer reads: “Confidential (TT Games Studio) – Not for distribution. R&D content only – not representative of any final products”.

LEGOGameMuseum has provided some additional context on the r/legogaming subreddit, too.

“This wasn’t actually designed for Lego Dimensions year 3 [as stated in the reddit thread], it was created as a pitch for The Lego Group to persuade them to approve a full game, and it was made during the last year Dimensions was in development when TT was aware that Dimensions wouldn’t receive a third year of content,” they explained.

“Once again, TLG determined Bond wasn’t a fit, and dismissed the project. I believe this was uncovered in the data of a Dimensions build, which is where the confusion arises.”

“This took place around 2016, and LEGO in particular was not satisfied with the violence and sexual innuendo,” they added in a follow-up comment.

“Characters with names like Pussy Galore and Plenty O’Tool wouldn’t align well with a family-friendly Lego game. Although I’m confident TT could find a way to make it work. TLG today seems more open to exploring new ideas in games, so it could potentially be revisited; the biggest obstacle for TT would be WB compelling them to adhere to owned intellectual property.”
