News: EA is bringing the Lord of the Rings strategy game to the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.
EA announced this morning that they are bringing The Lord of the Rings: The Battle For Middle-earth II to the Xbox 360 this Summer.
The game will be the first console port of the popular PC series of strategy games and will feature a new control scheme to take advantage of the 360 controller and, for the first time in an LOTR game, Xbox Live play.
"Living these cinematic battles in high-definition with stunning surround sound, all from the comfort of your living room couch on the Xbox 360, is an extraordinary experience," said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EALA. "Adding the ability to battle it out with friends via Xbox Live is also really exciting."
LOTR: The Battle For Middle-earth II is being developed by EA LA and we'll have more on it soon.
