‘Lego The Hobbit’ Gets Its First Trailer!

Briefly: The first trailer for Traveller’s Tales’ Lego The Hobbit has just debuted online.

The game, which was revealed late last month, takes “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 Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.”

According to Traveller’s Tales’, “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.”

All of the Lego titles in the past have been an absolute blast, and I can’t wait to see how Middle Earth turns out. The announcement does leave a few questions unanswered however. First, is there a second game on its way to complete the story? And second, how does a Lego man wear a ring?

Take a look at the first trailer below, and let us know what you think! Lego The Hobbit will launch on PS Vita, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS, and Windows sometime in 2014!
