This game has attracted millions of players worldwide, who are occupied daily with building kingdoms and forming alliances with other players as they strategize to defend their kingdom. The characters in the game include favorites from The Hobbit movie, including Gandalf, Bilbo, Legolas and Tauriel.




SmaugThe Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth met with outstanding success, with this free-to-play game earning nearly $100 million in in-game transactions during its first year. Every day, more than 4 million battles are waged. More than a million alliances have been created and 16 million cities have been built, as players continue their fascination with The Lord of the Rings culture and characters.




Now, as the second movie, The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug, is released December 13, Kabam has also released an expansion pack for its game. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug Expansion Pack features the evil dragon Smaug, ready to wage war against all.
