Lego Harry Potter, Crystal Skull games next from Traveller's Tales
Studio also pitching to Peter Jackson for Hobbit tie-in
A staff member at UK studio Traveller's Tales has seemingly confirmed that the developer is currently working on two new Lego games, long-rumoured to be in production.
According to the staff member's CV, Lego Harry Potter and Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are both in development at the Warner Bros owned studio.
While EA has the rights to publish one more game based on the Harry Potter movies, Warner Bros is the parent of the Potter franchise and has already put Traveller's Tales to work on other brands including Batman.
The staff member also states that they had worked on a demo to pitch to Peter Jackson for a game based on the forthcoming Hobbit movies, due in 2012.
Traveller's Tales is known to be working on one other Lego title - Lego Battles - due for release on the DS this year, and had considerable success with the Lego Star Wars franchise.

We considered the nature of the source, as well as the way in which the information was highlighted to us. Ultimately we felt that the CV, as a means of intentionally conveying information to prospective employers - with the contents clearly made public online - was meant to be seen by people, so was a fair source to use.
Did you check with her?

As if we need that in the UK right now.
Disgusting decision to post this. I fully agree with your last comment Fran.

Perhaps an out-dated centiment in today's enviroment of extreme brand image control but for me is something that respected journalists should always remember.
