LOTR Conquest details: playable creatures, heroes
In a recent interview with Crispy Gamer, Pandemic got the chance to shed some light on their recently announced Battlefront-meets-Lord of the Rings title, Lord of the Rings Conquest. With the interview come a few details regarding the game and just what gamers can expect. Said details are as follows:
- Three types of combat: Melee, Ranged, and Magic (expect warriors, archers, etc)
- The game will play from 3rd person perspective
- There will be several playable creatures and vehicles including ents, fell beasts, catapults, siege towers, trolls, battering rams and eagles
- Much like the Battlefront series, players will be rewarded with playable heroes for completing objectives
- Players will fight through the major battles of the film and a few that appear in the books. There are also battles included that were "hinted at" in the books.
- The Evil campaign plays out as though Frodo failed in his mission to destroy the One Ring
- No cross-platform play between PC and 360 (surprise, surprise)
- Conquest features "a recognizable actor from the films" as the narrator (dare we hope for Hugo Weaving?)

As for the narrator - Hugo Weaving? I'm hoping for Sir Ian. Much more recognizable voice.

Hmm I think there's some heavy graphic recycling going on here.
