- The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is the first The Lord of the Rings game to embrace realistic combat as Tolkien depicted it, authentically derived from The Lord of the Rings lore and delivering on action RPG principles.
- Social play is redefined through online, interdependent co-op gameplay which enables three different gamers to play as a complementary group where individual skills enhance the success of each individual and the team as a whole.
- Players choose from three playable races: human, elf or dwarf. Customisation allows for meaningful and rewarding RPG gameplay including established loot and reward systems..
- Play a critical role in an original story and help turn the tide of the war. Gamers experience an original story created especially for the social, collaborative three-player experience established within J.R.R. Tolkien’s lore and approved by Middle-earth Enterprises, who manage Tolkien’s legacy.
- Challenge Missions – Special missions consist of defensive positioning and group raids for up to 3 players, built especially for co-op challenges and not tied to the story.
