Lord of the Rings: Conquest teases epic
LOTR Conquest details: playable creatures, heroes
- Three types of combat: Melee, Ranged, and Magic (expect warriors, archers, etc)
- The game will play from 3rd person perspective
- There will be several playable creatures and vehicles including ents, fell beasts, catapults, siege towers, trolls, battering rams and eagles
- Much like the Battlefront series, players will be rewarded with playable heroes for completing objectives
- Players will fight through the major battles of the film and a few that appear in the books. There are also battles included that were "hinted at" in the books.
- The Evil campaign plays out as though Frodo failed in his mission to destroy the One Ring
- No cross-platform play between PC and 360 (surprise, surprise)
- Conquest features "a recognizable actor from the films" as the narrator (dare we hope for Hugo Weaving?)

New LOTR title on the way from Pandemic
Ah, to remember the heady days when Electronic Arts was content to flood the world with Lord of the Rings titles. It seems that EA isn't quite ready to let its very lucrative license go by the wayside, as newly acquired studio Pandemic (Mercenaries 2) is working on a new title set in Middle Earth. And that's about it, really. The news was revealed in a recent analyst meeting (the same one that also seemingly unearthed plans for a new KOTOR title). The only thing known about the title is that EA plans to release it in their fiscal 2009, which runs April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Could it be the resurrection of The White Council? Time will tell (and so will we, once we find out).
