News of the Now: Lord of the Rings: Conquest is Announced
By Kaiserhawk
(OMG He was right for once)
A while back over on Gamefaqs there was a subforum for a game titled “Lord of the Rings Pandemic Project (working title)” and straight away I made a joke topic about this being Lord of the Rings Battlefront due to same developers and how many fans compare the movies. However little did I suspect that I would be right…kinda. You see while the game basically IS LotR Battlefront it is called LotR Conquest. Expected for a fall release I’m going to guess that it’ll be pushed back so you should not get your hopes up.
Essentially the game takes place on the different battles withing the “War of the Ring” conflict. Battles such as Helms Deep, Minas Tirith, Osgiliath ect. Also like Battlefront is numerous different classes like Trooper, Heavy, Engineer ect, but here I’m going to assume that they’ll change the names to a more fantasy based class. Also announced as well were playable heroes and villains from Frodo to Sauron and all in between.
While some battlefields have been announced it is unknown if Pandemic will include some of the lesser known battles in the epic conflict such as the war in the north.

I myself am intrigued by this title, and while I still consider Star Wars Battlefront and it’s sequel to be great games I think it’ll be interesting to see the formula used with a fantasy based genre instead of a Sci-Fi one.
