EAвЂ™s Lord of the Rings games: where are they now?Д®AвЂ™s licence expired in 2008 with no attempts at renewal, reverting the rights to Warner Bros. The fact this project was cancelled in favour of Conquest presents one of gamingвЂ™s biggest вЂњwhat ifвЂќ scenarios. It was gearing up to be the grandest Lord of the Rings adventure yet, set in an open world with its protagonist working alongside Saruman, Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond. Many liken to the game to Star Wars: Battlefront and its easy to see why вЂ“ both were developed by Pandemic Studios, who created Destroy All Humans!, Mercenaries, and The Saboteur.Д®ight Lord of the Rings games were released within seven years, with a ninth game вЂ“ The White Council вЂ“ cancelled while still in early development. Although there was a solo campaign, Conquest was designed with multiplayer in mind. Instead of Middle-EarthвЂ™s mightiest heroes, this game had you reliving epic clashes through the eyes of men, elves, and orcs, with iconic characters occasionally gracing the battlefield. The Lord of the Rings: Conquest was another attempt by EA to cross the border into new genres.

Something that the company would have trouble repeating with their Star Wars related ventures.ДЄfter the movie tie-ins, EA threw somewhat of a curveball with The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. Collectively selling over six million copies worldwide, EA had a firm grasp on the Tolkien film licence. A second instalment in the same vein, The Return of the King, covered the action-packed finale of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Receiving a multi-platform release in October 2002, The Two Towers featured hack and slash battles from those first films. EAвЂ™s first movie tie-in for The Two Towers represented two-thirds of Peter JacksonвЂ™s trilogy, with most action sequences linking to The Two Towers. The Lord of The Rings movie licence was safely in the hands of Electronic Arts by the time The Fellowship of the Ring hit theatres.
