The call goes out across Middle-earth — and this time, it arrives in your hands. Premium physical publisher Limited Run Games has officially announced that The Lord of the Rings: War in the North™ – Legacy Edition is receiving a physical release across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox, available in both Standard and Deluxe editions.
A Forgotten Fellowship, Restored
Originally released in 2011 from Snowblind Studios, this action-RPG takes you beyond the main story of the One Ring to the untold battles of Northern Middle-earth. As Sauron’s gaze fixes on Mordor, a darker threat rises in the frozen wastes — and it falls to your trio of heroes to stand against it. The Legacy Edition, updated and published by Aspyr, brings the classic roaring back to modern platforms with quality-of-life upgrades:
- Up to 3-player online co-op or 2-player local split-screen
- 60 FPS gameplay across supported platforms
- Character hot-swapping, refined targeting, and fresh autosave functionality
