After its initial reveal last summer and a brief look at gameplay in September, EA and Capital Games’ turn-based strategy RPG The Lord Of The Rings: Heroes Of Middle-earth will launch on mobile devices May 10.
Heroes Of Middle-Earth lets players build teams of the Lord Of The Rings saga’s most recognizable heroes–including Gandalf, Aragorn, and Frodo–and send them into battle against Sauron’s legions via turn-based battles. The game features a story mode with original tales set in the LOTR/Hobbit universe, as well as PvP modes so players can test their best teams against their friends.
Players can customize their characters with unique abilities and gear, which will be both earned as rewards throughout the game and available via in-app purchases. No pricing information on items or in-game currency has been revealed.
