Kabam, creators of Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle game for Android and iOS, is back with yet another strategy game for mobile game players.

“The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth” takes players into the Lord of the Rings universe and allows them to engage in adventures, while exploring characters, battles and locations specific to this epic fantasy world.

Keep in mind that this is massively multiplayer game, so players will need a network connection in order to play it. As the name suggests, the free-to-play strategy game is inspired by The Hobbit Trilogy, a production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

“Kabam has crafted a mobile game that will thrill strategy gamers and The Hobbit film fans alike. We’re excited to partner with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to deliver a free-to-play game for iOS and Android that fans can experience wherever they go,” said Andrew Sheppard, president of Kabam Game Studios.

Players will be able to create their own empire in Middle-Earth by choosing either of the factions available: Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and Wizards.

According to Kabam, the game is available to play in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese languages. Unfortunately, Kabam has yet to put up the English server, so stay tuned for more updates on this one.

“We expect The Hobbit Trilogy to be one of the biggest events in entertainment history. The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth provides an interactive way for film fans to engage in the adventure as they explore the characters, conflicts and locations in this epic fantasy world,” said Greg Ballard, senior vice president, Digital Games, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth is now available as a free download via Google Play store and it should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 2.1 and up. Check it out here.
