Due to whatever, Lego was releasing their sets at around the end of the first movie (I remember some of the sets contained spoilers about the second movie).


Keep in mind that The Hobbit itself came in multiple instalments. There are no plans to develop DLC based on the final film of the trilogy.” "The game provides an excellent set-up for the concluding chapter of Peter Jackson’s film, The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. "The LEGO: The Hobbit video game gives LEGO and Middle-earth fans a fun, new way to experience the legendary adventures of Bilbo and company as told in the first two films of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy," the publisher said in a statement issued to GameSpot. Here's the WB quote itself, if you don't feel like fishing it up out of literally every Google hit for "lego the hobbit battle of five armies DLC" some digging later, yes I'm correct on the first point: I can't find any definitive source of them saying it would be a DLC to begin with, but that seems to be implied. IIRC it was planned as a DLC that was cancelled due to the overall lukewarm reception of The Hobbit.
