Lord of the Rings, an iconic book series converted into legendary movie series is now coming to the small screens. Electronic Arts has partnered with Middle-earth Enterprises for the development of a new free-to-play mobile game based on the LOTR universe. The name of the game is The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middleearth. It will be a Collectible Role-playing Game (RPG) that brings the fantastical world of The Lord of the Rings in the form of a strategic, social-competitive experience. The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth is expected to enter limited regional beta testing this summer. The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth is the first mobile game developed by EA inspired by storylines, locations, characters, and lore from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit literary works. 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,” said the Vice President of Mobile RPG for Electronic Arts, Malachi Boyle.
