Rumor: Lego The Hobbit Game In The Works
Leaked promotional materials to be included with Lego The Hobbit construction sets point to a Lego The Hobbit video game from TT Games that could be in the works.
The image was posted by user sidersdd on a forum on bricksetforum.com. The leaked advertisement apparently appears on the back of the instruction booklet for upcoming Lego The Hobbit sets. According to the ad, we'll see Lego The Hobbit next year for most consoles, though it doesn't specifically point towards Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

Our Take
A Lego The Hobbit the video game is currently unconfirmed, but it seems very, very likely. Considering TT Games has already dabbled in The Lords of the Rings with success, a sequel based on the prequel films has a pretty good chance of being a real thing.
