Lord of the Rings Heroes of Middle Earth simply walks onto mobile

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future and another Lord of the Rings mobile game can find its way into our libraries. The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth is due for release next month, and we’re excited to dive back into Hobbiton and its surrounding areas.

EA and Capital Games’ new title launches on May 10, 2023, on iOS and Android platforms for free – though there are some microtransactions in the game for characters and items. Pre-registration is open now on the official site to secure some behind-the-scenes content, offers, and likely some freebies, too.

Heroes of Middle Earth is an RPG based on the beloved books by J.R.R. Tolkien, letting us meet wanderers, warriors, and wizards in a new story. We, the players, discover another abandoned Ring of Power and set about dealing with it in an appropriate manner.

This is the first proper look we’ve got at the game since its reveal in 2022, and we can now say that it’s a turn-based game involving strategic content and plenty of stories. There are other game modes too like PVP for players to test their mettle.

The Lord of the Rings title has a ‘stylized realism’ art style and makes use of the extensive lore (the lore of the rings, you could say) created in the trilogy and adjacent books like The Hobbit. The game creates new stories from it bringing in some much-needed diversity and inclusivity.

A wizard is never late, even when he’s overslept after playing games all night. What games? Try the best JRPGs on Switch and some of the best truck games on mobile to find out.
