LEGO The Hobbit Gets Its First Trailer

With Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy only two-thirds of the way through its box office run, there seems no better time to dive into J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world in LEGO form. Warner Bros. clearly agrees, as the first trailer for LEGO The Hobbit has now been released.

The trailer comes just weeks after the game’s existence was leaked online, and shows how the developers at Traveller’s Tales have adapted much of the action from the first two films into a lighter, brickier form.

Fans of both Middle-earth and the LEGO series of video games have plenty to look forward to in the coming years, as both franchises have more installments incoming. A game based on the LEGO movie is already a go, and Monolith is hard at work on Shadow of Mordor, the game once thought to be tied to The Hobbit trilogy.
