LEGO The Hobbit is a video game that was released on the 8th of April, 2014 (along with the Blu-Ray release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) in North America and on the 11th of April, 2014 in other territories. It was released on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, PS4, 3DS, Vita, Mac and PC.
The game is set around the first two films of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug. The Battle of the Five Armies storyline was announced by WB at the official press release to be releasing as DLC content following the release of the movie, but WB later shelved the content altogether, stating on Gamespot, on March 16th, 2015, that there would be no adaptions created for the game.
Playable characters include Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey, alongside all of the dwarves: Thorin, Fíli, Kíli, Óin, Glóin, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori and Ori. Warner Bros. adds that each dwarf will have his own unique ability, mentioning that Bombur can use his belly as a trampoline.
Locations visited include Bag End, Hobbiton, The Misty Mountains, Goblin-town, Mirkwood, Lake-Town, Dol Guldur, Rivendell and The Lonely Mountain presenting Erebor.
Players "will also be able to mine for gems, discover loot from enemies, and craft powerful magical items or build immense new LEGO structures," according to the game's press release, suggesting that Minecraft-esque elements could make their way into the next LEGO adventure.
In March, LEGO The Hobbit: The Video Game DEMO was released for PC [1].
On January 1, 2019,[2] the game, along with its predecessor LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game, were both removed from all digital storefronts, such as the PlayStation Store, the Xbox 360 Marketplace and Steam. Consequently, the games were de-listed from The LEGO Group’s website.[3]Users who have previously purchased either game digitally from these storefronts will still able to access them. Physical copies of the games are unaffected by this. [4]
Studs[]
Like many games preceding it, Studs are the game's main type of currency. If the player walks into them, they will give them stud points to get Master Burglar. Silver studs are worth "10 Points", Gold studs are worth "100 Points", Blue studs are worth "1,000 Points" and Purple studs are worth "10,000 Points".

Notes[]
- A DLC pack based on The Battle of the Five Armies storyline was revealed by WB to be in production in a press release in early 2014, but Warner Bros. confirmed in March 2015 that the DLC was canceled, much to the disappointment of fans.
References[]

Differences from Film and Video Game[]
An Unexpected Journey[]
- A Dwarf miner finds the Arkenstone but Thorin and Bofur find it in the video game
- Peter Jackson's cameo appearance, unlike the movie, is recognizable since he is not shown in Dwarf make-up.
- After the Elves arrived around the same time Erebor was destroyed and taken over by Smaug, Thranduil gets upset at the Elves standing next to him who were laughing at Thorin, causing him to walk away. This didn't happen in the movie cause Thranduil instead refused to help Thorin and his kin.
- In the video game Frodo and Sam see Old Bilbo exercising.
- Except for Bilbo and Frodo, Sam and Rosie Cotton never appeared in the beginning of the movie despite appearing as playable characters in the game. That scene takes place around the same time Bilbo's 111th birthday occurred and Frodo leaves to suprise Gandalf before his arrival in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
- Gandalf did not leave a mark on Bilbo's door in the video game.
- Bilbo has fish in the movie and shark in the video game as his supper.
- When Bilbo see Fíli and Kíli at the doorstep in the video game, Fíli grooms Kíli's hair.
- In the movie, Fíli takes Ori's plate and tosses it to Kíli. In the video game, Ori tosses his plate to Fíli.
- "Blunt the Knives" is ommited in the video game but there is a plate tossing minigame in "An Unexpected Gathering" during the "That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates" section.
- Gandalf was with the company in the movie but in the video game he and Bilbo met up with them.
- During the battle of Azanulbizar, Azog beheaded Thrór. In the video game, Azog punches the head that landed backwards before he kicks Thrór which sends him flying in the air.
- After Thorin chops off Azog's hand in the video game, the hand mocks Azog, causing him to go after it.
- Fimbul never used a phone to call Azog in the movie after he and Yazneg spy on the company.
- In the film, Yazneg does get eaten, In the game, Yazneg doesn't get eaten by Wargs.
- Elrond was present in Rivendell when the company arrived while the elves are shown escorting the Orcs. In the movie, the company arrived before Elrond showed up.
- After the company made it inside The Misty Mountains, Bilbo's sword glows which reveals a trap but the trap in the movie happens while they are sleeping in addition to Thorin overhearing Bilbo telling Bofur of what he said about him.
- Bilbo never saw the ring fall out of Gollum in the movie. He finds it before his encounter with him.
- The washer machine and pig were not shown landing on top of the company with The Goblin King in the movie.
- Azog finds the company after they escaped Goblin Town. In the video game, he finds them camping out and cooking food.
The Desolation of Smaug[]
- Albert Dreary appears outside of Bree but in the video game he replaces the two rangers who stare at Thorin.
- In the film, Bilbo never saw Azog cooking food for the Orcs nor Beorn using the binoculars to spy on them. Azog also tasks Bolg with pursuing Thorin's company when Bolg arrives to summon him to Dol Guldur, rather than at Dol Guldur.
- Thranduil seems to constantly look at himself in a mirror in the video game, although he never does this in the film.
- Bifur did not help Bilbo rescue the Dwarves from their jail cell in the movie.
- Gandalf met up with Radagast before they went into the cave, in order to make the game co-op friendly but Radagast was already inside the cave in the movie
- Although Tilda appears in the movie, she does not in the cutscenes despite appearing as a playable character.
- The dwarves and Bilbo leave Lake-town after the Lake-town Master welcomes them but in the movie they don't leave until the next day.
- In the film, when Bilbo tried to tell the company to come back when he found the Light and accidentally kicks the key, Thorin instantly came back and caught it with his foot. In the game, the bird taps on the rock revealing the door and swipes the key from Bilbo's hand.
- Legolas and Tauriel kill all the Orcs invading Bard's home but Tauriel helps banish them in the video game.
- Tauriel stays behind in Lake-town to take care of Kíli. In the video game, she heals him and leaves with Legolas to go after Bolg.
- In the video game, Bard sees the children, Oin, and Bofur cleaning the Orcs from the house. He does not know about the invasion in the movie as he was already in jail.
- Balin never encountered Smaug with Bilbo in the movie.
- Radagast accompanies Gandalf into Dol Guldur and assists him in confronting both Azog and Sauron, which did not occur in the film.
