The first trailer for LEGO: The Hobbit hits just in time for The Desolation of Smaug, the HD remakes of Final Fantasy X/X-2 finally get a release date, and Sony starts PS4 sales in 12 more countries in today’s games roundup.
In the first trailer for LEGO: The Hobbit, Bilbo embarks on a zany blocky adventure with wizard Gandalf and Co. to claim back the Dwarven Kingdom of Erebor.
LEGO: The Hobbit will cover the events of the first two films in Peter Jackson’s trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. If the first LEGO: The Hobbit game performs well, it is likely that a LEGO: The Hobbit 2 game could be made for The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
Watch the debut trailer for LEGO: The Hobbit below.
LEGO: The Hobbit releases for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and PC in 2014.
