WB Games today have announced that Snowblind Studios (the folks behind the console Baldur’s Gate titles), are developing a more mature offering set in Tolkien’s legendary fantasy fiction.

Lord Of The Rings: War In The North, is a visceral action-RPG that allows players to upgrade their various party members in regards to skills and abilities, improve their gear and take part in some co-operative questing goodness.

In regards to the lore, the game will take in some familiar settings and one or two familiar characters; but for the most part, the majority of the game will be set in the unexplored
North (as per the title) where a number of new enemies and perils await.

The violent CG-ified teaser trailer can be seen at the link below:
