Warner Bros. Film Company I entrusted the development of as many as two game adaptations of Peter Jackson’s future trilogy “The Hobbit” to the creators of Kingdoms of Camelot.
Kabam, well known for its conditional strategy games both on the mobile and web applications market, will release two projects under The Hobbit franchise this fall.
On the mobile market, the company will present The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth, f 2 p-a strategy in which players will be able to “manage their own kingdom in Middle-earth, as well as take part in the great war with other players.”
It is planned that simultaneously with this project, but already on the PC, another Kabam strategy will be released – The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age. In it, the player will take control of one of the heroes of the film, which he will fight.
There is an opinion that the new IP will allow Kabam to finally reach the hardcore audience, which the company’s management talked about plans to capture a couple of months ago.
As for Warner Bros., this is not her first experience with mobile developers. Previously, the company has already collaborated with Gameloft, which has released The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man mobile for Warners.
