The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a co-op action RPG that immerses you and your friends in a gritty new chapter of the Lord of the Rings saga.

Players will take on the role of either Eradan, a Dunedain ranger, Andriel, an elf, or Farin, a dwarf.

Each character will have unique abilities related to their race - for example, a Dunedain can combine various items to create unique items for use or sale within the game.

Elves possess superior vision, which will lead you to shortcuts and recognize problems ahead.

Features:

• Gameplay that includes an engaging story with many side missions.
• Meet your favorite Lord of the Rings heroes as well as lesser-known characters.
• Classic action-RPG gameplay that focuses on co-op play, multiple races/classes, and character leveling.
• A special challenge that includes missions and maps specifically designed for co-op play and unrelated to the main campaign.
• Magical abilities that include active spells (fire, lightning, and ice) as well as passive spells (morale boosts, shields/protection).
