Guardians of Middle-earth Bilbo Baggins DLC coming this Friday

With The Hobbit movie coming out very soon, now is the perfect time for the new console MOBA Guardians of Middle-earth to add Bilbo Baggins as a Guardian — and they're doing exactly that. This Friday, December 14th, Guardians of Middle-earth will release its first DLC. It includes two new Guardians — Bilbo Baggins and Bert the Troll — as well as a new map, The Shire.

Bilbo Baggins looks to have a stealth mechanic with a pretty cool melee attack where he darts around hitting enemies, and Bert is a giant troll with a barrel of fire.

If you bought the Season Pass, you'll get the new Guardians as soon as they release, but if you don't have the Season Pass, you'll have to unlock them. To get a better understanding of the Guardians, watch the Bilbo and Bert DLC trailer below. Click HERE to read our full review of Guardians of Middle-earth.
