The Lord of the Rings: Conquest gets January release, new trailer

October 30, 2008

You know you can never go wrong with an LotR game that lets you play as an Ent. I mean – how cool is that?! Yay for spreading wanton destruction as a walking, talking tree! Watch out for next year then: Pandemic Studios just announced over the presswire that LotR: Conquest will be released simultaneously for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and DS on January 9 of next year. Check out a new trailer (and some old screens) in the full article.

Lord of the Rings games come in different flavors, from RTS games (War of the Ring, Battle for Middle-Earth) to MMOs (Shadows of Angmar). This time, we get a Star War: Battlefront flavor to it. Mmm hmm, coming from Pandemic Studios, LotR: Conquest is going for that tried-and-tested Battlefront formula. Plus you get to play as an Ent. How cool is that?! And the Balrog too!

They’ve just announced over the press wire that the game will be released simultaneously for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and DS on January 9 of next year. Here’s a trailer:

And… because I’m still an LotR fan at heart (I hope you are too), here’s a big batch of old screenshots that I’ve managed to scrounge up from previous press releases.
