A shadow has fallen over the North once again! The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition has officially become available for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles in North America. Players from Europe will be able to join the defense of Middle-earth very soon — on August 18, 2026.
A New Fellowship in Dark Times
The game offers you to plunge into a darker and more brutal version of Middle-earth, where war rages far beyond the path of the Fellowship of the Ring. You will have to face Agandaûr, a Black Númenórean and servant of Sauron, who has gathered a huge army in the ruins of Fornost. While Frodo and Sam head to Mount Doom, it is up to you to protect the North.
Main features of the game:
- Three unique heroes: instantly switch between Eradan the Ranger, Andriel the Elven healer, and Farin the Dwarven warrior.
- Co-op: play together with two friends online or in split-screen mode. Only through joint efforts can you survive!
- Deep RPG system: customize character skills, collect powerful weapons and armor to suit your own playstyle.
- Support of the Great Eagles: summon the mighty eagle Beleram to deliver devastating strikes from the sky.
- Iconic characters and locations: meet Aragorn, Gandalf, Elrond, and visit Rivendell, Lorien, and Mirkwood.
Prepare to face ruthless orcs, trolls, wargs, and dark magic on blood-soaked battlefields. It is time to draw your swords!
