Human Element | Starting development in 2012 and being announced at The Game Awards in 2014, the game was an ambitious first person shooter by Robert Bowling, who had previously worked on Call of Duty titles. Announced for the Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms, development was put on hiatus before being cancelled in early 2015 due to the inability to fund the game and subsequent closure of developer Robotoki.[3][4] | Robotoki | |

Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun | 2012[6] | Climax Studios | Square Enix Europe |
Lego James Bond | In 2016, TT Games pitched a new entry in their long running line of Lego games, this time based on the James Bond film franchise. The pitch was rejected due to the films' adult themes and level of violence being too extreme for the Lego brand's family-friendly demographic. A trailer for the game was later leaked in 2024.[7] | TT Games | Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment |
