Now that the second The Hobbit movie has been released, as well as the second wave of LEGO The Hobbit sets, there is also a new LEGO The Hobbit video-game coming. Warner Brothers and TT Games recently announced the latest LEGO video game based on the first two films of The Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the upcoming The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. The game will be available in the spring 2014 on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Nintento Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, as well as Windows PC and Mac. 🙂
Following the storyline of the first two films, LEGO The Hobbit will take players on quests throughout Middle-earth, joining Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the Grey, and Thorin Oakenshield and Company in their exciting adventures toward the Dwarven Kingdom of Erebor. “We are thrilled to depict the characters and environments of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth in LEGO form with the LEGO The Hobbit videogame”, said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “Our family-friendly take on these thrilling adventures will have kids and parents playing and laughing together as they build and explore in LEGO Middle-earth.” (See trailer below.)
LEGO The Hobbit sends players of all ages on an unforgettable interactive journey through the first two films in The Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the upcoming The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. Players will follow Bilbo Baggins as he is recruited by the Wizard Gandalf to aid Thorin Oakenshield and his Company of Dwarves. Bilbo leaves the comforts of the Shire on a journey through Middle-earth to help the Dwarves reclaim their lost Kingdom of Erebor within the Lonely Mountain. Along the way, he is introduced to ravenous Trolls, dangerous Orcs and, of course, Gollum and his precious Ring. Players will utilize and combine the Dwarves’ unique abilities — often with hilarious results — to solve the most diverse Quests of any LEGO videogame to date.
In LEGO The Hobbit, kids and families will be able to take on the form of their favorite Hobbit characters, including Bilbo, Gandalf, and all of the Dwarves: Thorin, Fíli, Kíli, Óin, Glóin, Dwalin, Balin Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori and Ori. Each has his own special – and quite hilarious – ability: For instance, Bombur can be used as a trampoline that enables his companions “belly-bounce” out of danger!
Players will visit key locations from the films, including Bag End, Bilbo’s Hobbit-hole in Hobbiton, trek through the treacherous High Pass over The Misty Mountains, and explore the depths of Goblin-town, Mirkwood and Rivendell. Along the way, players will solve countless puzzles, partake in Treasure Quests and battle with Orcs, Trolls and fouler things. They will also be able to mine for gems, discover loot from enemies, and craft powerful magical items or build immense new LEGO structures.

I’m not a huge gamer, but I do want this game and the LEGO Movie one. Also. first comment!
I don’t play video-games. But, this looks neat!
hey admin, do you get new sets for Christmas?! 😆 😉
Yep, got the entire line of The LEGO Movie sets, and I also got myself a few of the new City sets. 😉
Wow.
Lucky for me, one of my mom’s friends is going home to the states, so I’ve ordered a few things from LEGO.com. I wanted to net all the polybags, but apparently Thanksgiving Feast is long sold out…
And so is that Santa one, so that leaves me with Decorating the Tree.
Oh, you could have told me you are looking for those! I was just at the LEGO shop a few weeks ago and they had tons of those polybags!
…Bad luck for me, I guess.
I……..Must……..Resist……….The…….Urge………To…….SQUEAL!!!!!
WOOOHOOOO!!!! this is a must/buy/get/stealfromfamilymember for me!! its amazing!!
0.0 I have read The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings each twelve times!! so I get to see if they kept to the book in the game, cuz they sure didnt in the movies =P
(the movies are still EPIC though)
*whew* ok I am done babbling like a fool. (wait, one more)
YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!
Steal from your family! Haha! That’s funny!!! 😀
I saw the Desolation of Smaug. It was Awesome lots of action. I wonder why they aren’t just going to wait till the third one comes out and then release it with all three of the movies story lines?
Aaron, good question. I’m not sure why they decided to do it this way.
Now that I’ve seen the size of Smaug, I think it would be fairly viable to create an accurate, minifigure-scale set of Smaug, but really, just him, and maybe Bard and his ballista, for a set the size of, say, Goblin King Battle?
Yeah, that would be great! I would really like to have a Smaug!
Fikko, my friend and I are making The Lonely Mountain (miniscale, but still really huge) for the next few months. We both ordered almost 350$ worth of building pieces each, I will send you some pics when it is done!
All I have is the Nintendo ds. So, why are they not making more games for that system. ( a lot of E-waste if they don’t)
Admin, I’m jealous of the new LEGO Movie sets! Which one is your favorite?
My favorite is Wyldstyle’s dragster from #70808 Super Cycle Chase, and the #70805 Trash Chomper. I also really like #70813 Resque Reinforcements with the fire-truck. I just built it last night. The Ice Cream Truck is also really fun. I will start uploading my reviews in the next couple of weeks. 😉
What about when the third movie comes out?
Will the game be updated?
