Not to be confused with Lord of the Rings online, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a role-playing game in development by Snowblind Studios.

It is based on the events taking place in the northern regions of Middle-earth in the background of the main story of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Players will take control of a hero of the war, and will be able to play through the game alone or cooperatively with other players, with the ability adjust the percentage of experience your co-op partner receives.

The game is scheduled for release in North America in 2011.
