It's about time we got a LEGO Game of Thrones game following Warner Bros. update

We know that the night is long and full of terrors, but it feels distinctly longer than its need to due to a lack of LEGO Game of Thrones in our lives. The famed Danish toy company is known for its family-friendly image, and it's fair to say that George R.R. Martin's world of dragons, beheadings, and incestuous relationships doesn't exactly fit that brief.

Still, as more and more seemingly adult IPs get brought into the plastic bosom of LEGO, the latest rumours could bring us closer than ever to sitting on a LEGO Iron Throne. Better yet, could a Game of Thrones LEGO game come soaring onto console on the back of a dragon?

Fire and bricks

Martin's first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire saga was released as A Game of Thrones all the way back in 1996, and although some remain unconvinced he'll ever release The Winds of Winter as the sixth book, let alone complete the story with A Dream of Spring, the franchise is one that's only on the rise.

Even though we know you all despised Game of Thrones season 8, HBO has managed to claw things back with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon. The latter has just wrapped its third season, and as the inevitable multi-year wait settles in, Warner Bros. is sure to keep us occupied with any number of projects.

Trusted LEGO leaker @LEGOTtNewsI points to an August 2026 Warner Bros. earnings report, claiming that the next LEGO game will be based on one of the studio's big IPs.

While this is bad news for those hoping for another LEGO Marvel game, it's thrown open the doors to speculation.

Many in the comments suggested we could get another LEGO take on Harry Potter, and while we know HBO's reboot is landing on Christmas Day 2026, we'd question what story there is left to tell following Traveller's Tales' release of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1–4 in 2010 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5–7 in 2011.

We could see them revamped in a similar way to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but come on, give it a rest.

An R-rated problem

The comments were packed with those calling for a LEGO-fied Game of Thrones, and while the internet is full of concepts, there's not a single GoT set on the LEGO Ideas site.

That might have something to do with the franchise going against the site's strict guidelines that state: "LEGO Ideas is not for anyone under 16. But we still don’t allow swearing, discriminatory language, or references to: sex; alcohol and drugs (including tobacco); realistic violence; or political and religious ideologies.”

Tackling something new like Game of Thrones would be an altogether more tantalising prospect for TT, Warner Bros., and fans of the fantasy epic.

With the developer's signature brand of humour, there are jokes aplenty to be had, and you could even (attempt to) redeem the maligned season 8. Then again, we're not sure how burning a LEGO Shireen Baratheon would be diluted for an E10+ ESRB rating.

Going back to what we said at the start of this article, the problem is that LEGO tends to stick with family-friendly IPs. Although we'd love to see a full Aliens set, complete with a LEGO Ellen Ripley taking on a LEGO Xenomorph in a LEGO Power Loader, it feels like we're a long way off.

It's true that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight had to tackle the sometimes grim subject matter of the Batman movies, but we didn't have a LEGO version of Heath Ledger's Joker slicing people's faces with a knife.

There's been a slow adoption of more mature LEGO IPs, like a Jaws set releasing in 2024 and LEGO Icons Stranger Things: The Creel House landing at the start of 2026. Then again, LEGO Resident Evil seems like a pipe dream that will have to stay that way.

LEGO doesn't concern itself with the opinions of a sheep

Game of Thrones just about fits into that realm of fantasy that could be toned down for a family audience, but it's a gamble LEGO might not be willing to take.

We've been getting LEGO Lord of the Rings sets since 2012, which is also the year that LEGO Lord of the Rings was released. As that strays into similar(ish) territory to Game of Thrones, releasing sets based around the Seven Kingdoms and a LEGO video game sounds like a license to print money.

Elsewhere, it still feels like Warner Bros. is falling short on the video game front when it comes to the Thronesverse, with us lacking anything anywhere near Monolith's legendary Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is releasing in 2027, but all too often, the IP is confined to lacklustre mobile games that are riddled with gacha mechanics.

While it's clear that fans want to see LEGO's take on the Seven Kingdoms, that doesn't mean much to the toy giant that’s making the decisions at the end of the day.

For all the complaints, churning out LEGO Harry Potter sets and games is a surefire win that can be marketed to the whole family.

As much as we'd love to see LEGO Ned Stark's little yellow head pop off, those plans will likely remain on ‘ice’ for the foreseeable future.
