Nintendo and LEGO have quietly confirmed another collaboration in their licensing partnership with a short teaser for LEGO Donkey Kong posted to the Nintendo Today app.
The announcement continues a relationship between the two companies that began in 2020 with the launch of the LEGO Super Mario line, and it underlines Nintendo's ongoing strategy of expanding its physical merchandising alongside core software releases.
The teaser itself is succinct.
In journalistic terms: a 19-second clip uploaded to the Nintendo Today app simply teased that a LEGO Donkey Kong set is "rolling soon," offering no additional details about release timing, set scale, or retail availability.
The brief video provides confirmation that the project exists, but stops short of a full reveal.
Background and partnership history
Nintendo and LEGO first teamed up publicly in 2020 with the interactive LEGO Super Mario theme, which combined physical LEGO builds with digital and electronic components.
Since that initial launch, LEGO and Nintendo have continued to collaborate on licensed products that appeal to collectors and fans of Nintendo franchises.
This new Donkey Kong teaser marks the next high-profile extension of that relationship.
What we know and what remains unknown
Verified information at this time is limited to the teaser release on Nintendo's Today app and the acknowledgement that the new LEGO Donkey Kong product is forthcoming.
Nintendo has not published a full product page or release date, and LEGO has not listed a product SKU or retail details on its official store.
Until either company issues a formal product announcement, specifics such as price, piece count, and release window remain unconfirmed.
Why this matters
Donkey Kong is a long-standing Nintendo IP and a recognizable brand for collectors and family audiences.
A licensed LEGO set could appeal to a wide range of consumers, from LEGO builders to long-time Nintendo fans.
The teaser follows a pattern of surprise reveals used by both companies to build anticipation ahead of formal product announcements.
Next steps
Fans should watch official channels—Nintendo's social feeds, the Nintendo Today app, LEGO's official announcements, and major retail listings—for a full product reveal and release details.
When Nintendo or LEGO confirms a release date and product specifications, retailers and news outlets will typically publish full coverage.

For now, the short teaser makes one thing clear: LEGO Donkey Kong is on the way.
