Warner Bros did not give too many explanations about it, but it was understood that it could be due to a rights issue.
The permanence of video games in digital stores is not eternal. That is something that time has shown, especially when rights agreements expire. LEGO The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were removed from the Steam store and digital market in January 2019 with little explanation. All in all, both video games are back together with their respective DLC. The Traveller's Tale titles follow the usual formula for LEGO games and offer a humorous perspective on the sagas on which they are based.
Although LEGO The Lord of the Rings collects all the main events of the trilogy signed by Peter Jackson, in the case of The Hobbit nothing is added related to the third film. On the return of both products to the Steam store, Warnos Bros has not made any previous announcement. Kotaku has been the means of communication that has noticed the return of these articles.
Mario also debuts, but with a very special product
Traveller's Tale has adapted numerous LEGO-style franchises. Sagas like Harry Potter, Batman, Indiana Jones or Star Wars have already passed through the filter of these popular toys. Different is the case of LEGO Super Mario, a hybrid between the traditional toy and the electronic device that transfers the experience of the plumber's games to the physical world. In this way, users can interact with the levels that they have built with the LEGO pieces.
For its part, Traveller's Tale is developing a new installment based on the saga created by George Lucas. In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the studio will replay the most iconic scenes from the first two trilogies, but all the material from the latest trilogy will be added. This is a completely new game, not a compilation of the above.
