LOTR: The War of the North Trailer

Warner Bros. Interactive has released the official trailer for The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring called "Fellowship" that is currently in development for release by the end of the year. I think the game takes place during the event of the trilogy but with mostly new characters as they stand against Agandaur, a minion of Sauron. Below is the description from The One Ring along with the trailer.

Bringing together both new and familiar characters, Snowblind Studios takes one-step further to expand The Lord of the Rings franchise to a new audience. As Sauron gathers power, the cruel master of dark sorceries, Agandaur, stands to crush all those that dare oppose him in the North. Three bright flames of courage emerge to challenge him. To protect their people, their lands and all of Middle-earth this fellowship of three must unite and fight as one. The Lord of the Rings: War in the North weaves captivating action into a deep and emotional story, taking players on a journey to these unexplored regions of Middle-earth. Only those who do not seek glory, who do not seek power, those who fight to stem the onslaught in the face of darkness will prevail.
