Lord of the Rings: Rise To War is a mobile strategy game based on the Third Age of Middle-earth.

NetEase released a video with senior game designer Nicolas Perrin, who discusses the appeal of bringing Middle-earth to life in a video game before going into more detail as to how Rise To War has handled that task.

Perrin says the game’s format alone sets Rise To War apart from the numerous other Lord of the Rings games that have been made over the years. “While most of the other Lord of the Rings games are about roleplay, our game is about strategy,” Perrin said. “We think that it’s an opportunity for players to experience going to war in Middle-earth.”

To that end, players will be able to experience battles across the entire map of Middle-earth. “We paid especially great attention to recreating the game map as faithfully as possible,” Perrin said. “It will include all the classic places of Middle-earth like Dol Guldur, Minas Tirith, Edoras.”
