We've got some new Middle-earth mobile action coming, thanks to EA. The company announced that they've partnered with Middle-earth Enterprises to put together a new mobile game called The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-Earth.
According to the announcement, it will be an RPG featuring turn-based combat and a vast amount of characters to choose from. The game is already in development, and EA revealed it would go through limited beta testing during the summer.
"We are thrilled to be working with EA once again, this time to bring a mobile game solely inspired by Middle-earth as described in the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien to its fans," Fredrica Drotos, from Middle-earth Enterprises said.
Malachi Boyle, from EA, added: "We are incredibly excited to partner with The Saul Zaentz Company and Middle-earth Enterprises on the next generation of mobile role-playing games.
"The team is filled with fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and each day they bring their tremendous passion and talents together to deliver an authentic experience for players. The combination of high-fidelity graphics, cinematic animations, and stylized art immerses players in the fantasy of Middle-earth where they'll go head-to-head with their favorite characters."
No details yet have been revealed on the specific storyline or during what Middle-Earth time period the game takes place.
