Turbine announced that Midway will co-publish (along with Turbine) and distribute The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar in North America. The Lord of the Rings Online is the world's first and only massively multiplayer online (MMO) role playing game based upon the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
The Lord of the Rings series is the foundation for so much of today's fantasy entertainment, and we expect Turbine's MMO to be a faithful, thrilling recreation of Tolkien's world, said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway.
The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar will allow players to forge heroic legacies in the ongoing struggle for Middle-earth. Gamers of all levels will establish their unique reputations, explore incredibly detailed realms and join familiar Tolkien characters, while adventuring solo or in fellowships within an evolving and persistent re-creation of Middle-earth.
