The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth is a new game set in Tolkien’s fantasy world for mobile phones, developed by EA’s Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes studio Capital Games.
If a mobile-only Lord of the Rings game isn’t for you, perhaps the biggest news here is the renewed partnership between EA and Middle-earth Enterprises.
Expect turn-based combat, “deep collection systems” and a familiar cast of characters from both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
The new app will be a “collectible role-playing game” and a “strategic, social-competitive experience”, EA said in a press release this afternoon.
