A Shadow rises in the North. Step into a darker, grittier Middle-earth where war rages beyond the Fellowship’s path. The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition expands Tolkien’s epic legendarium, delving into the brutal, untold story of Agandaur, a Black Numenorean and servant of Sauron who has rallied an immense force in the ruins of Fornost.

Command a Great Eagle – Call upon Beleram, a mighty Great Eagle, to strike from the skies and turn the tide of battle.

Iconic Cameos and Locations – Encounter familiar faces like Aragorn, Gandalf, and Elrond as you journey through lore-rich locations including the Elven sanctuaries of Rivendell and Lorien, the daunting heights of The Lonely Mountain, and the fog-laden paths of Mirkwood.

Darker, Grittier Middle-earth – Experience the brutal reality of war with mature storytelling, blood-soaked battlefields, and the desperate fight to defend the North against Sauron’s advancing armies.

A World Full of Peril – The world is gnawed by nameless things. Face ruthless Orcs, monstrous Trolls, deadly Wargs, spectral Barrow-wights, and the dark sorcery of Agandaur’s forces in epic battles across Middle-earth. Don’t be hasty—Agandaur commands even greater terrors, summoning Fell Beasts and Creatures of Shadow to his aid.

Delisted, published by WB, made by someone else, yet it's a Aspyr that now has the rights and game?
