The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

Today Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Snowblind Studios share a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Action RPG The Lord of the Rings: War in the North , highlighting the realistic combat of war-torn Middle-earth. We invite you to experience battle as J.R.R. Tolkien imagined it; where blood-stained swords and blood-soaked battlefields pave the way on your quest to save Middle-earth.  A well-placed arrow sears through enemy chests, and skilfully timed swords tear limb-and head-from body. Even the fearsome battle troll is felled by a well-placed stab through the top of the skull. Now is the time to gather your Fellowship around you and prepare for a bloody good fight when The Lord of the Rings: War in the North releases later this year.
