War of the Ring demo announced
THE LORD OF THE RINGS(tm): WAR OF THE RING(tm) DEMO COMING SOON
LOS ANGELES, CA (September 15, 2003)- Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games)
announced today that it will release the demonstration version of its
upcoming PC real-time strategy game based on the J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord
of the Rings" trilogy The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring (War of the
Ring) on September 22nd.
The demo will include two single-player missions from the game - "The Siege
of the Iron Hills" and the "Pursuit of Gollum." In both missions, players
take the side of the forces of light in their attempt to destroy the One
Ring.
In War of the Ring, massive battles erupt as the peoples of Middle-earth
fight for control of Tolkien's World. Gamers can play as the forces of good
and valiantly fight for the One Ring's destruction or assume command of the
forces of evil to claim control over Middle-earth forever.
War of the Ring delves deeper into the stories of the heroes in The Lord of
the Rings, allowing the player to see the events that led to the founding of
The Fellowship, and participating in some of the battles taking place during
the Ring quest.
In contrast, the storyline for the forces of darkness follows the story of
Sauron after his escape from Dol Guldur during the reformation of his armies
in Mordor. This story allows the player to play the forces of darkness for
the first time, leading armies of Orcs, Trolls, and Haradrim, as the power
of Sauron grows across the face of Middle-earth.
In addition to its epic single-player component, War of the Ring also
includes robust multiplayer gameplay over local area network or the
Internet.
The Lord of the Ring: War of the Ring is set to be released worldwide this
November. More information can be found at the game's official website:
