Although there is not much time until the game’s premiere, the developers have not yet shared many details about the game. It is known that it will consist in building an army for one of the factions known from the universe (for example Mordor or Gondor) and then managing them in battles. Depending on the choices made and the supported sides of the conflict, players will be able to create their own teams and armies, as well as influence the fate of the war. In addition, players will be able to join alliances and devise plans for the conquest of other players’ fortifications. The most important task is to choose the right army for the opponent and the battlefield, because for each victory, the player will be awarded a piece of land, which will be included in his territory. Failure will result in the abandonment of part of the site. The player’s goal will be to build the largest empire possible.
During the announcement of the work on the game, the president of the studio – William Ding – spoke:
The Lord of the Rings is one of the most influential and celebrated literary works in the world, and we are thrilled to be able to work with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment again to deliver another exciting game for mobile players.
There is nothing else but to wait for the official release of the game. On September 23 it will turn out whether the words of the president of NetEase are true.
