The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North:

A Co-op Action RPG, from the developers of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance (2001), that immerses you and your friends in a brutal new chapter in the War of the Ring (3018-3019 TA). Set in Middle-earth during the time of the War of the Ring, but separate from its events, War in the North is inspired by both the Lord of the Rings books and movies allowing players to draw their swords, notch their axes, bend their bows and raise their staffs against quite 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.

You are one of these heroes. Inspired by events from the famous book trilogy and their retelling in Peter Jackson’s films, the game features brutally realistic combat, a unique and compelling new story, and innovative cooperative gameplay that pits you and your friends against the dark forces of Middle-earth. In this game you will form your own fellowship and fight against Sauron’s forces at the North.
