More Lord Of The Rings Game Re-Releases Are Coming
Aspyr Media shadowdropped a new "Legacy Edition" of the 2011 The Lord of the Rings game, War in the North, earlier this week. It won't be the last The Lord of the Rings re-release from Aspyr, as the company has confirmed "even more classic releases" from The Lord of the Rings series are coming "in the future."
That's all Aspyr had to say, so it's anyone's guess as to the other "classic" The Lord of the Rings games that could make a return.
War in the North's Legacy Edition was released under a licensing deal with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and marks Aspyr's first The Lord of the Rings release.
Other LOTR games released around the same time as War in the North from WBIE included Aragorn's Quest (2010), Guardians of Middle-earth (2012), Lego The Lord of the Rings (2012), and Lego The Hobbit (2014).
Going back earlier, when EA held the license for the fantasy IP, there were titles like The Lord of the Rings: Conquest (2009), The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth (2004), and its 2006 sequel. EA also developed and published games based on Peter Jackson's LOTR film trilogy.
In addition to the re-releases of older games, brand-new The Lord of the Rings games are coming, including a "deeply immersive" RPG from Kingdom Come developer Warhorse. Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics is said to be developing one as well.
