We would tend to forget it, but Electronic Arts has already had the opportunity to work on the Lord of the Rings license in the early 2000s (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the king among others), the last episode released under his aegis being The Lord of the Rings: The Age of Conquest. It will therefore have been necessary to wait thirteen years before the American publisher decides to put the cover back with The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth.
As indicated in the official press release that he sent us, this is a mobile game (iOS, Android), and more precisely a free-to-play RPG which "will offer immersive narration, combat turn-based, a rich collection system and a great selection of characters from the vast universe of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.Players will be able to relive iconic moments from Tolkien's world and fight against the great evils of the Earth of the Environment."
The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth is developed by Capital Games and will enter regional beta testing this summer. In the meantime, we have to do without a trailer, without an image and without a release date.
