Lord of the Rings: War in the North — New Trailer and Screenshots!

A new trailer has recently been released for Lord of the Rings: War in the North, developed by Snowblind Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. As per the usual for Lord of the Rings, the trailer is epic. It contains epic slow motion combat backed by epic music (and the mandatory epic chanting epically accompanying the epic music). Check it out here.

In addition, some epic screenshots have also been released. Check them out below:

A mage squares off against a giant troll. These bad boys are nothing compared to some of the trolls I've seen online (not at PSUni, of course).

Two words: Serious. Business.

Is this a battle or a dance routine? Hopefully the latter.

Okay, definitely not a dance routine.

Middle-Earthians have guts. Apparently this troll wants to see them for himself.

Yeah . . . I couldn't think of a description.
S. c. r. ewed.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is set to release some time in 2011, but no specific date has been detailed. Hopefully this game can redeem the franchise after the most recent entry, Pandemic and EA’s Lord of the Rings: Conquest, left a bad taste in the mouths of the franchise’s fans.
