With Skyrim-lust whipping fantasy role-playing game fans into a frothy puddle, perhaps November 1 is the best possible time for Warner Bros. to release The Lord of the Rings: War in the North.
Our video game November gets more crowded today with the release date(s) of Snowblind’s The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The PS3, Xbox 360 and Games for Windows RPG hits November 1 in North America, November 2 in Australia and November 4 in Europe.
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North developer Snowblind Studios takes its weapon creating seriously in this behind-the-scenes video, and an innocent lunchtime treat gives its life for the greater good.
One would assume that cutting your way through countless orcs would leave your clothes rather messy. Snowblind Studios, the developer of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North makes that happen in what looks to be the most violent game the fantasy series has ever seen.
There is another great war in J.R.R. Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings saga, a bloody battle set in the north of Middle Earth. This front is the setting of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, the fantasy world’s equivalent of the Allied invasion of Normandy, says developer Snowblind Studios.

While the Fellowship of the Ring is slowly realising that everything would have gone much smoother had Gandalf called the eagles in the first place, a great evil stirs in Middle Earth’s Northern Reaches.

The GamesCom trailer for Warner Bros’ The Lord of the Rings: War in the North fulfils the unwritten rule that every Lord of the Rings video-game trailer end with a troll busting through a door.
Warner Bros Interactive has tapped the team behind Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath to create The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, co-op action RPG for the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.
