Sequels[edit | edit source]
In 2002, an mmo flash game titled Lego Drome Racing Challenge was released on LEGO.com, which shut down on April 31st, 2007.[1]
Shortly before the company's liquidation in August 2003, reports suggested that Attention To Detail was working on a sequel, referred to as both Lego Racers 4 and Drome Racers 2.[2][3] Intended as an open-world title, the game reportedly suffered from significant publisher interference and was canceled as a result of budget disagreements as well as feature creep.[2][3] Another title, Lego Racers CC, was advertised in Lego catalogs in 2004 and was also never released.[2] No further information has surfaced about the game besides the initial advertisement.
In 2007, a mobile game for J2ME devices, titled Lego Racers was released, developed by Kiloo and published by Hands-On Mobile.[4][5]
In 2008, NetDevil, the developers of LEGO Universe, announced the creation of a web-focused division that was set to develop a spiritual successor to Lego Drome Racing Challenge titled Lego Racers Challenge. Little is known about the game and it has now become lost media following its discontinuation.[6]
In late 2008, teasers for a game titled Lego Racers: The Video Game started appearing on the boxes of upcoming Lego sets; however, it was never released for unknown reasons[7]
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Drome Racers is notable for being one of only two Lego games to not include any Lego elements.
- Lego Friends is the other one; however, unlike Drome Racers, the game uses the Lego name in its title.
- Drome Racers was referred to internally as LEGO Racers 3 during development.
- A version of the game for the Xbox was announced but was never released for unknown reasons.
- Drome Racers was the last game developed by Attention To Detail, as the company was liquidated in August 2003, a few months before the Gamecube port of the game was released.[8]
