Aspyr dropped a Legacy Edition of 2011’s The Lord of the Rings: War in the North and announced that more classic LOTR titles are headed for re-release in the future, with WBIE-era games like Aragorn’s Quest and Lego LOTR/The Hobbit cited among possible entries, while new LOTR projects are reportedly in the works from Warhorse (Kingdom Come) and Crystal Dynamics.
Aspyr released The Lord of the Rings: War in the North as a Legacy Edition, a tweaked 2011 co-op action-RPG by Snowblind Studios, featuring better graphics options, more save slots, a lock-on combat toggle, improved UI, and in-level character upgrades. The publisher frames it as Aspyr’s first LOTR title and hints at more Tolkien releases to come, though it’s a $20 non-remaster and there’s some credit confusion since Snowblind developed it. Steam reception is largely positive despite the back catalog baggage.
Aspyr has released The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 (EU eShop launch Aug 18), and PC via Steam, Epic, and GOG, priced at $19.99 with a 10% launch discount through Aug 24. The updated edition brings online and local co-op (up to three players online, two players split-screen locally), character hot-swapping, refined targeting, improved UI with health/mana/EXP bars, autosaves, gyro support on newer consoles, 60 FPS gameplay, bug fixes, and new content focusing on Agandaûr’s story in a darker Middle‑earth experience.
