Warner Bros. confirmed that the game would release on April 11. Every dwarf is a character in the game and can be chosen. The preview of the game features Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and the monsters and fiends that the dwarves encounter. The combat and plot mimics that of the films.

The game will launch for 3DS, Mac, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The DVD and Blu-ray for The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug is scheduled to release on Apr. 8.

The film will be available in a variety of packages which will also feature a limited collector's edition set for $105.43, a Blu-ray 3-D combo pack for $44.95, a Blu-ray combo pack for $35.99 and a 2-disc DVD special edition for $28.98.

Only 25,000 pieces of the collector's edition will be available in the U.S. and will include two Gates of Erebor replica bookends and a theatrical version of the film in 3-D high-definition, high-definition and standard definition.

After the success of The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, fans eagerly await the last in the trilogy, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, which will release later this year.

Giving away a few spoilers, director Peter Jackson had previously told Yahoo! that there could be a massive clash -- as in J.R.R. Tolkien's original novel -- between the elves, men, dwarves, and goblins, when they arrive at the Lonely Mountain.

The Hobbit: There and Back Again will hit theaters on Dec. 18.
