AtOmX Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 LOTR : War in the North RELEAS DEATE : 2011 DEVELOPER : Snowblind Studios PUBLISHER : Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment PLATFORMS : Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC "With his far reaching rich hand Sauron might have done great evil in the North. Yet all that has been averted because a handful of heroes stood in his path.” – Gandalf the White The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a co-op Action RPG that immerses you and your friends in a brutal new chapter in the War of the Ring. Snowblind Studios is in the unique position of drawing inspiration from both the literary and film rights to world of Middle-earth, allowing players to bloody their axes on a wide range of deadly enemies and traverse both established and never-before-seen locations. The result is a journey that is both epic and intimate, familiar yet unexpected. ACTION MEETS RPG Intense, visceral, and satisfying combat. Rich, layered, and impactful character progression. In War in the North, you get both. Find and equip the best loot, upgrade your hero using a wide range of skills and items, and feel the intense satisfaction of rushing into real-time battles with friends by your side. Fight through the brutal realities of the war on all fronts that were brought to life in the lore. Immerse yourself and make your own mark on Middle-earth. CO-OP AT ITS CORE Build your own fellowship of three heroes to confront the growing army in the North. The survival of your group and all of Middle-earth depends upon your uniquely skilled heroes working together. You must fight together or you will die alone, and these high stakes make the experience of playing together both socially engaging and incredibly satisfying. The first time you rescue a friend who has been grabbed by a troll and is desperately yelling for help, you will understand what we mean. AN UNTOLD STORY While much attention and focus has been placed on the journey of the One Ring, the assault on Middle-earth hits all corners of the map. War in the North turns our attention towards an integral part of the storyline that is grounded in details within the books and various appendices. This is not someone else’s fight. This is your own effort to forage a way through the dark, dangerous, and unknown landscape, defending all that is yours. This is your war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I wish they would drop the Ring storyline. There is an entire universe there rich with characters and history. And they keep focusing on the Ring bit. Anyway I really loved RotK on the PS2/Xbox esp the fantastic co op. This should be good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, looks decent. Plus it's LOTR. But you're right, it's something for the downtime once all the AAA dust settles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 PC Version hands-on from RPS... http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/04/war-in-the-north-preview/#more-80636 I dunno it's kinda reminding me of Hunted: The Demon's Forge. That wasn't exactly a good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
