LEGO The Hobbit Video Game: But where is the promised DLC?

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.
