The battle for Middle Earth will soon be joined by forces from the human realms as EA’s Pandemic Studios announce the release date for the Tolkien take on Star Wars Battlefront, Lord of the Rings: Conquest. The war kicks off on January 9th internationally, with the U.S. showing up after the action starts (as per usual) on January 13th. “Players will finally be able to fight through Middle-earth along the front lines of good or evil,” says Josh Resnick, co-founder and general manager at Pandemic Studios. “And what ‘The Lord of the Rings’ fan hasn’t fantasized about joining Sauron’s army to slay Hobbits?”
