LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth, the newest project by Electronic Arts is scheduled to launch globally after some intensive testing via an open beta conducted just weeks before the release. Being a game from the Lord of the Rings franchise automatically means players are extremely hyped for the title. It is also one of the few LoTR themed and officially licensed games on mobile. Players can currently pre-register to get the juicy pre-registration rewards that will be given to all players once the game has launched. LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth boasts a strategic turn-based battle system that will entice many fans of the franchise. LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth is available to be downloaded and installed as a free-to-play game on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.

The storyline of the game revolves around a new ring that has been found in the centre of the earth. This new ring is extremely powerful and volatile, having the power to re-write history as we know it. To take back the ring and not let it fall into the hands of evil faction, you must role-play as a new adventurer and build a new team to fend off the evil forces. On your journey, you will meet multiple types of characters from different races such as elves, hobbits, and deadly wizards. Exclusive Lord of the Rings characters such as Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, and Tom Bombadil will also help you in your journey. Tons of new mysteries await your presence to be unfolded and unveiled. The Middle-earth has a brother of different factions, each with their own set of characters to interact and accommodate with.

Here’s a short note by the lead game director Nick Reinhart that entails what a player can expect first-hand when playing LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth – “It is my pleasure to inform you that we have a Worldwide Launch timeline in place. We will be globally launching The Lord of the Rings™: Heroes of Middle-earth on May 10th, 2023! We are so tremendously excited to be announcing our launch date and once again cannot thank you enough for going on this ride with us. We will have upcoming information about the timing of the economy reset in the next week or so, along with some more regular release updates as we get closer to launch. We’ve got a lot of awesome content and feature plans coming. It’s got lots of beloved characters, along with maybe a few new faces. Please stay tuned as we get closer to the date!”

Much like the trend nowadays, LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth is also a gacha game where players can get fragments for their favourite characters. As with any gachapon system, the summoning rates for the characters are equal. No rarity system can be observed yet in the game that classifies different characters and denotes ranking system. In fact, the gacha system is quite similar to games like Marvel Contest of Champions and Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes.

Players will be delighted to know that all characters in the game can be acquired completely free-to-play, provided that you play the game long enough. This is due to the fact that players can farm fragments of multiple characters via the Adventure mode. LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth also has some quality strategic turn-based combat system that values tact and skill over pay-to-win mechanics. However, one thing that many players might be disappointed with are the graphics of the game. They seem quite old and generic when compared to AAA game titles being launched in 2023. The developers have said that the graphical aspects of LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth were taken into consideration based on the actual watercolour paintings by J.R.R Tolkien.

LoTR: Heroes of Middle Earth has a unique art style, multi-platform support, and a reputed developer that are well-known in the industry.
