The Lord of the Rings: War in the North evolves the Action/RPG genre through innovative online, interdependent co-op play for up to three players, who form their own Fellowship and engage in brutal combat. Gamers must play together or perish as they explore previously unseen lands, story elements and characters as well as elements familiar from past feature films.
Players engage in extensive character customization and development, expansive co-op gameplay options and upgradeable weapons, skills and special abilities.
