IGN has released a new trailer video of LEGO The Hobbit Video Game based on an Ocean’s 11 theme. The crew consists of the Dwarves of Thorin and Company setting out to regain their lost kingdom. A heist if you may. The trailer gives some of the Dwarves nicknames such as The King for Thorin, Oin as The Jumper, Ori as The Shooter, and Kili as The Ladies Man. The nicknames also correspond to some of the abilities the character uses like a slingshot for Ori, and Oin’s ability to jump higher. The game is action-packed and has the usual humor thrown in to lighten the mood. Check out the PC Demo as well as what you can expect to find in the game.
DK has just revealed the exclusive minifigure that will be in the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: Updated and Expanded book on their Facebook Page. It will be Luke Skywalker in his Tatooine outfit.

This year marks the 15th Anniversary of the LEGO Star Wars theme and DK is acknowledging that. The book is available for pre-order on Amazon
The LEGO Video Games blog has given us some gameplay details of the LEGO The Hobbit Video Game. There have been some big improvements while navigating through the game or the HUB as the designers call it. In these HUBs, players can now go inside Hobbit houses, find secret tombs, cellars, and Elven and Dwarven ruins. In these secret areas, you can expect to find some nice hidden treasures. These items can be used to enhance character abilities and also to unlock new quests in a brand new quest chain system.
Another thing you can do in story mode is crafting new items by the way of the Blacksmith. You will have to mine hidden LEGO ores found throughout Middle-earth. Also defeating Orcs, Goblins, and Wargs can also net you some of these loot items and can be used to create a Mithril Weapon. Perfect your Blacksmithing skill and you could even create “perfect” items that glows to show its unparalleled craftsmanship. Check out our video below of the PC Demo.
