== Development ==
Boxes for Space Police and Castle sets released in 2009 advertised "LEGO Space: The Videogame" and "LEGO Castle: The Videogame", respectively, while Racers set boxes advertised LEGO Racers: The Video Game. None of these games were advertised further and remained a mystery for some time. While LEGO Racers: The Video Game was canceled, the Space and Castle games (as well as an unadvertised Pirates game) were merged into LEGO Battles:
The game's sequel, LEGO Battles: Ninjago, started development as LEGO Battles 2, before soon shifting to being primarily Ninjago themed. As in the final game, this early concept for LEGO Battles 2 featured an isometric camera angle.https://rockraidersunited.com/topic/5787-the-lego-battles-merge/

* LEGO Battles marks the Agents character, Agent Chase, first appearance in an official LEGO video game.
* The Alien army is supplemented with Exo-Force elements, with the Builder, Laser Trooper, and Grav Runner being derived from 8112 Battle Arachnoid.
* The King Final cutscene is a parody of the award ceremony from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, likely referencing TT Games' previous work on LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy.
