About

Adapting the closing chapters of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy, The Return of the King is a hack and slash action game that carries the War of the Ring toward its climax. Picking up from the events of The Two Towers, it follows the desperate struggle of Middle-earth's free peoples against the growing darkness of Sauron. The game unfolds across multiple intertwining storylines, letting players take control of the trilogy's beloved heroes, among them the wizard Gandalf, the ranger Aragorn, the elf Legolas, the dwarf Gimli, and the hobbits Frodo and Sam. Their paths diverge across the great battlefields and shadowed roads of the era: the defense of besieged strongholds, sweeping clashes against the armies of Mordor, and the perilous secret journey to carry the One Ring toward its destruction. Faithful to the films, the game plunges players into the epic final campaigns of the war, wielding blade, bow, and magic against overwhelming hordes.
