Well, I always said the franchise had the makings for a great action RPG, now let's see if Snowblind Studios can pull it off.
WB Games as officially announced The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, which will be coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in 2011. The game is set during the events of the War of the Ring (as always), and it will apparently feature a mature storyline as players become the hero while battling Sauron's forces in the north of Middle-earth featuring content from both the films and books.
You can view the Announcement Teaser trailer below.
It looks alright, and I'll be keeping my great eye on this one, but honestly, why are games for the franchise always set during the War of the Ring? Why not create an epic action RPG during the largely unexplored Second Age of Middle-earth, thereby allowing the development team a significant amount of freedom instead of tight narrative constraints?
