Do you still doubt that LEGO has lazily botched a range with enormous potential? Watch the 13th episode of the Briquefan show and you will finally be convinced ...

All kidding aside, Antoine has (finally) uploaded a new episode of LEGO fans' favorite YouTube show. And if we obviously quickly go around what LEGO has deigned to offer us around the second part of the trilogy Lord of the Rings, the comparison between the events and locations of the film and their ABS plastic equivalents is worth its weight in peanuts ...

It's official, there will be no additional content (DLC) for the LEGO The Hobbit video game to replay the events of the third installment of the Peter Jackson cinematic saga.

May all those who still believe in it learn the lesson: Better to hold than to run and in the future it will be necessary to be very careful with the innuendos of Warner Bros. and TT Games about possible content proposed later for future games under LEGO license.

The absence of this DLC intended to complete a game that will have left many players who hoped to be able to replay the final battle of the trilogy on their hunger is bad news even if the game offers as it is long hours of adventure and action.

Below is the statement from Warner Bros:

 "The LEGO The Hobbit videogame gives LEGO and Middle-earth fans a fun, new way to experience the legendary adventures of Bilbo and company as told in the first two films of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy.

The game provides an excellent set-up for the concluding chapter of Peter Jackson's film, The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. There are no plans to develop DLC based on the final film of the trilogy. "

Remember: The version of the LEGO The Hobbit video game that had been marketed only allowed to replay the events of the first two episodes of the cinematographic saga: An Unexpected Journey et The Desolation of Smaug.

Warner Bros and TT Games had implied, without ever confirming formally, that a DLC (Additional Content) proposed later would allow players to replay the story of the third installment of the saga: The Battle of Five Armies.

This additional pack was initially to accompany the theatrical release of the third and final part of the saga if we are to believe the various reports of the London Toy Fair 2014 which confirmed the information.

Almost a year after the game's release, there is still no sign of the extra content that many players were hoping to get one day. For its part, TT Games, which is happy to gargle on social networks about the next games announced (LEGO Marvel Avengers, LEGO Jurassic World) is now turning a deaf ear to questions from fans.

Has this additional content ever been really planned? Nothing is less sure. There is no trace, neither trailer, nor visual, of this supposed extension. Several DLCs with additional characters and various and varied accessories have however been marketed around the game.

But TT Games never wanted to officially communicate on the existence of an extension that would allow fans not to feel cheated for having paid full price for a game that ultimately only contains two-thirds of the saga that 'it claims to make it playable.
