EA Unveils Lord of the Rings RPG

July 15th, 2006

EA is milking its Lord of the Rings license as much as it can (and why shouldn’t it?). The latest announcement is an RPG based on the film trology, or at least, inspired by the world of the film trilogy.

The Lord of the Rings, The White Council is scheduled to ship in late 2007 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
“Our extremely talented and dedicated team is committed to creating an incredible new experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and role playing gamers,” said Steve Gray, executive producer, The Lord of the Rings, The White Council. “With its next generation gameplay and epic new storyline, we think The Lord of the Rings, The White Council will be a huge success.”

Players have the freedom to explore the open world of Tolkien’s Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings, The White Council. Players can choose their role as a man, an elf, a dwarf, or a hobbit. Each role’s destiny is to become a hero allied with the White Council, whose members include the famed characters Gandalf, Saruman, Galadriel, and Elrond.

A combination of stunning graphics and expansive environments, along with the freedom of movement demonstrates the innovation and quality of the next-generation RPG, where players can create their own adventures.
