This is a turn-based strategy mobile game that centers on the return of favorite characters like Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, Samwise Gamgee, Legolas, and more.
Book-based plots and quests will also appear, alongside a PvP game mode, and other experiences coming to the game. Users may preregister for the game via EA's website.
'The Lord of the Rings Franchise
First off, The Lord of the Rings is a famous fictional novel and is considered a significant classic in the literature world, by the renowned English author J.R.R. Tolkien.
It has been adapted to several pop cultures developments like movies and games, with a significant franchise that captures the series' gritty and dark plot with the Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor game from 2014.
Moreover, the original film franchise of TLOTR saw a prequel to its story which focuses on the young Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, also adapted from the book of Tolkien and directed by Peter Jackson.
It is safe to say that even though the book is almost 70 years old and the last movie's trilogy will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, the "The Lord of The Rings" franchise is still alive. With the upcoming game from EA and MEE this May, Tolkien fans may re-experience what it is like to be in Middle-earth and explore its regions while completing stories and quests with their favorite characters from the franchise.
