Lord of the Rings: War in the North

While Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment already has a Lord of the Rings game on tap for this year--the motion-controlled, cartoon-styled Aragorn's Quest--the publisher will put out another LOTR game next year, as WBIE announced that Snowblind Studios will be developing Lord of the Rings: War in the North for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
The official announcement on the game's website classifies the game as an action-RPG, with a focus on co-op, a description that sounds a lot like many of Snowblind's previous projects--namely, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath. The official website states that the game will draw from the book trilogy, while IGN's trailer announcement notes that the film trilogy's actors and likenesses will appear in the game.
According to the announcement, we shall see more of Lord of the Rings: War in the North at E3 2010. For now, you can view the teaser trailer for this dark (and possibly mature-rated) game below.
