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

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

Each will have special abilities related to their race - for example, a Dúnedain can combine different items to create unique items for in-game use or sale.

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



Characteristics:
- Gameplay that includes an engaging story campaign coupled with dozens of side missions.
- Meet your favorite Lord of the Rings heroes as well as more obscure characters.
- Classic action-RPG action that focuses on co-op play, multiple races/classes and character leveling, and more.
- A special challenge mode consisting of missions and maps built specifically for co-op play and unrelated to the main campaign.
- Magic abilities including active spells (fire, lightning and ice) as well as passive spells (morale bonuses, shields/protection).
