Lego The Hobbit Trailer Embarks On A Bricky Journey

​

The debut Lego The Hobbit trailer invites you on a journey through the blockiest forest and the brickiest caves.

It's a bit odd that The Hobbit is a trilogy but Lego The Hobbit only covers the first two films, An Unexpected Journey and Desolation of Smaug, but I suppose it's just as easy to say it's a bit odd that The Hobbit is a trilogy when the novel upon which it's based is a single work, so rather than obsessing over these little bits of trivia I suggest we all just enjoy the trailer, which, as we've come to expect from Lego games, looks rather good.

It appears that the game will be perhaps a bit more light-hearted than the novel (although it's been many years since I've read The Hobbit, so maybe it was more of a romp than I recall) and it also promises to offer "the most diverse quests of any Lego videogame to date." Look for Lego The Hobbit to launch in the spring of 2014 for (take a breath) the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PC, Mac and 3DS.

Just two days ago when I finished watching the 2nd Hobbit movie with friends did we only ask ourselves when would we be getting a Lego Hobbit game.

I can now rejoice in knowing we'll be getting the game hopefully near the start of 2014 and I'll look forward to diving into some co-op fun with friends.

My only wish is that someday we'd get another good LOTR game like War in the North.

As much as I love Lego, Lego games and any of Tolkien's work, I must be a sourpuss and ask the question: why does this game cover only the first two movies?

You know they're not going to miss out the third movie so how is that going to be released? As a standalone game in its own right? I really think you're starting to milk it now Lego. Splitting Harry Potter into two games I can understand; that was 8 movies all told after all. But this?
