Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's universe, you must be as eager as I am to discover the new series The Rings of Power which will be released in September. In the meantime, take the opportunity to explore the Middle Lands with the new LOTR: Rise to War campaign, entitled The War of the Ring.
The War of the Ring, the new campaign for LOTR: Rise to War
In the short teaser of the NetEase game update, we can see Cul-de-Sac, the house of Bilbo Baggins. The famous Hobbit is seen browsing through a book whose story he is telling us. This is an undisguised nod to the opening scene of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, which was also used in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, when Bilbo is writing the book.
This new story of The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War remains mysterious for the moment, but we already know that we will find Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf and their adventurous companions.
The 4 new warlords
Alongside this new campaign for The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War, the War of the Ring update also introduces four new commanders.
- Skalhelm, a former commander of the Westmen, who fell under the spell of one of the rings before becoming a Nazgûl.
- Glasha, an Orc witch who can summon Crebains, Saruman's flying spies, to destabilise her enemies.
- Treebeard, an extremely powerful Ent that synergises very well with Elves and Hobbits.
- And finally, Falgin, an experienced and determined Dwarf who boosts the Dwarf armies of his allies.
For the moment, we still don't have a release date for the new campaign of LOTR: Rise to War. While waiting to try out these new characters and discover the story of The War of the Ring, you can already take advantage of the Spring Festival event to win many rewards.
