EA Announce New Lord of the Rings RTS News

From the creators of 'Command & Conquer: Generals' comes a new RTS title based on Tolkien's legacy...
EA today confirmed that itâs EALA studio has begun work on an RTS title based on The Lord of the Rings franchise.
âThe Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earthâ is scheduled for release in Summer 2004 and utilises the âCommand & Conquer: Generalsâ engine. Itâs claimed the game will allow you to compete in campaigns for both the âgoodâ and âbadâ sides, whilst itâs believed EALA are going to town with the units featuring the likes of Oliphaunts, Orcs and Hobbits.
âThe Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth will give gamers the first chance to play the epic battles theyâve witnessed in Peter Jacksonâs films,â said Mark Skaggs, VP and Executive Producer of the game. âFans will be able to immerse themselves in Middle Earth and experience The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy like never before, including controlling the evil side of the conflict.â
As you can see from the first screens itâs certainly looking impressive at this stage and could finally be the title to re-ignite some faith in the tired RTS genre; weâll have more on âThe Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earthâ soon.
