The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

2 Feb, 2011

This Third Person Action RPG will be the latest title in the Lord Of The Rings (LOTR) franchise to grace the shelves, since the launch of the popular movie adaptations.

Although only three elements of the Lord Of The Rings have hit our cinema screens to date, Warner Bros. possess the rights to develop gaming content based on the entire literary expanse of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional world.

Snowblind Studios have seized this opportunity and have created a game that explores previously unseen lands, story elements and characters, as well as elements familiar from past feature films.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North breaks new ground as the first mature‐rated LOTR video game and expands on the RPG genre through innovative online, interdependent co‐op play for up to three players (that can form their own Fellowship and engage in brutal combat); players must play together or perish as they work to defeat Sauron’s forces in the North.

The game also offers extensive character customization and development, expansive co‐op gameplay options and upgradeable weapons, skills and special abilities.
