For the first time in PC gaming, re-imagine the epic battles from both the film trilogy and the never-before visualised J.R.R. Tolkien fiction in The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II.
Embark on a gripping single-player campaign that takes you deep into the War in the North as three new factions: the Dwarves, Elves, and Goblins. Exploit new strategic advantages—build your castle anywhere, create your own Middle-earth hero, and much more. But beware, this newly revealed Middle-earth hides dangerous enemies commanded by a powerful new AI system, giving them an improved tactical edge. With so much more to see, there is far more to fear.
Will your armies win the war for Middle-earth or be vanquished by enemy forces too powerful to overcome? Take control of all Middle-earth and decide its fate like never before.
