According to the publisher, Heroes of Middle Earth is not a PC or console game. It will be a mobile game developed by EA’s Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes studio Capital Games. It has experience with fantasy mobile games, this could be a perfect fit.
According to a recent press release announced recently, this will be a collectible role-playing game and a strategic, social-competitive experience. Select regions will be trying out the beta this summer 2022.
Players who are fans of The Lord of the Rings books and movies will feel nostalgic as they will meet characters from both LOTR and The Hobbit movies. Combat will be turn-based, and has “deep collection systems”.
