Developer Traveller’s Tales is chiselling away on a Lego version of Lord of the Rings, according to a listing on ShopTo’s official website.
The retailer quickly pulled the product information page, which listed the game for an October 26 launch. Only the Xbox 360 version was mentioned, though we can safely assume it’ll arrive on other platforms including PlayStation 3.
The listing can still be viewed via Google cache, which you can see here.
A Lego version of Lord of the Rings wouldn’t exactly be that much of a surprise, seeing as how we’ve already seen numerous franchises adapted into block-tastic adventures, including Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman.
It’s also worth noting that a new, Lego-inspired toy line based on the Lord of the Rings will be released later this year, plus we’ve also got Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit film due in December. We'll be sure to keep you updated.

After years of rumours and hushed whispers, it's finally official: there will be a LEGO Lord of the Rings game.
New figures based on Peter Jackson's movies contain flyers for the game, according to MCV, who led with the leak of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes earlier this year.
No word on which formats the game will come to but with a rumoured October release ahead we'll take a wild guess and say Wii, DS, 3DS and Wii U, or any combination of the four.

I think everyone who loves Legos and the games has been waiting for something like this. It's definitely be on my list to buy. The only problem I can think of is that Lego Batman 2 comes out on June 19, so another game being released 4 months after would make me worried about the quality a little.
