Pandemic Lord of the Rings title confirmed

Back in February we told you that it was very likely Pandemic was working on a new Lord of the Rings Title. Well, it now seems that the game has been officially confirmed by both EA and Pandemic. It will be called The Lord of the Rings: Conquest.

It has also been revealed that the game will be hitting PC, PS3 and 360 this autumn. Also, it will apparently play very similar to the Star Wars: Battlefront games with you controlling one character as the rest of your army of AI buddies help you in different ways. LotR heroes like Gandalf, Frodo, Aragorn and Legolas will also make appearances in the title

“Our Pandemic Studios creative teams have years of expertise bringing giant battlefields to life,” says Andrew Goldman, Pandemic Studios co-founder and general manager. “We’ve always wanted to harness our experience in a fantasy universe with warriors, archers, mages and castle sieges. Of course, there is truly no better fantasy world to recreate than the enormity of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ realm.”

The game will also boast four friends online and two player split-screen co-op options and eight player competitive battles.
