Warner Bros. has partnered with Kabam to create two free-to-play games inspired by The Hobbit for the web and mobile devices.
Both The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth for mobile devices and The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age for web browsers will be multiplayer strategy games, due out in Autumn 2012.
The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth will task players with building and managing their own kingdom in Middle-earth, including joining with other players to engage in war, while The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age will offer gamers strategic combat, whilst controlling iconic characters including Bilbo and Gandalf at the head of an army of Elves, Dwarves or Orcs.
Warner Bros. senior VP of Digital Games Greg Ballard said, "We are very pleased to work with Kabam in creating immersive free-to-play online games on massive scales across multiple platforms. Kabam’s Armies of the Third Age and Kingdoms of Middle-earth will be an excellent way for The Hobbit film fans around the world to delve more into the iconic story and interact with the characters in the universe."
Anyone wishing to register for the upcoming beta for Armies of the Third Age can do so now at the game's website.
