Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today reveals a new trailer for the upcoming Action/RPG The Lord of the Rings: War in the North.
The Hand of Sauron stretches far. No land is safe from the shadow. But there are still those with the strength and the will to resist. In the trailer, a human, dwarf and elf join in Fellowship, to combat the orc hordes that plague Middle-earth.
Developed by Snowblind Studios, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North introduces players to the brutal, northern reaches of Middle-earth, in a realm where survival depends on Fellowship. Featuring online, interdependent co-op play for up to three players, gamers join forces to do battle with the creatures of this world, while developing and upgrading weapons, skills and abilities.

From IGN: You may think that Lord of the Rings games are so 2003, but you’d be wrong. Case in point, Snowblind’s action RPG The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. It’s the first M-rated game for the property and the first to make use of materials from both the novels and the films.
Adam writes: I rented the new DVD release of “Where the Wild Things Are,” and while sitting through the previews (it wouldn’t let us skip them), we came across an unexpected treat. The last preview before the main DVD menu popped up was a teaser trailer for the new cross-platform next-gen video game, “Lord of the Rings: War in the North.” It was probably about 20 seconds long, but it looked incredible. The entire thing seemed to be a cut-scene featuring a band of humans battling orcs and a troll. At the end was a screen showing the platforms (360, PS3) and a website (www.warinthenorth.com) which takes you to WB’s video game site.
