Yet another Lord of the Rings game is on the way. Following the new game based on Gollum and Amazon’s Lord of the Rings MMO, NetEase and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War. A mobile strategy game, Rise to War is set in the Third Age of Middle-earth.
The game aims to be “visually stunning and completely faithful,” NetEase said in a press release. The game will feature “iconic characters and locations” from The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. It’s set in the Third Age, which is a 3000-year period that culminated with the defeat of Sauron at the end of the War for the Ring.
“This adaptation will unlock new opportunities for players to explore the iconic settings and characters of Middle-earth while utilizing their strategic skills in battle,” WBIE’s David Haddad said in a statement.
