A long-lost Lord of the Rings action RPG makes a surprise return to Steam

Gandalf in Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Legacy Edition.

16 years ago, we used a trailer for the then-upcoming action RPG Lord of the Rings: War in the North to drop a sick burn on people who maybe take their Tolkien a little too seriously. The game launched a year later, in 2011, to middling reviews and disappointing sales, and there it sat until the delisting process began in late 2018; SteamDB indicates it got the axe on Steam the following February.
