Two New EA Games Introduce Players to Characters, Environments and Battles Not Depicted in Theatrical Releases

Description

The Lord of the Rings: Tactics is EA’s first title to incorporate EA’s exclusive rights to develop videogames based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic literary fiction, The Lord of the Rings. Previous titles are based solely on content from New Line Cinema’s critically acclaimed The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The expansion rights allow EA to introduce players to the depths of the fiction never before explored in an EA videogame. Fans will now be able to step into a world that looks like the films, but experience characters, environments and battles that are inspired by the books.

The Lord of the Rings™ Tactics for the PSP™ will put players in the universe of Middle-earth from the books and films and allow them to lead the Fellowship or take control of the forces of Shadow. The tactical strategy game features player-customized characters and a rich system of items, upgrades and skills. Players can guard their heroes, seize high ground, set ambushes and trap enemies while fighting battles across famous locations of the books and films to determine the future of Middle-earth. The Lord of the Rings Tactics will allow them to pit their customized heroes against up to four other players via WiFi. A unique, simultaneous turn-taking system allows for fast-paced play.
