EA X ME

EA has officially renewed its partnership with Middle-Earth Enterprises - the exclusive rights holders of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, created by J.R.R. Tolkien.

It's somewhat exciting news, but unfortunately, the only game announced (at least right now) is a new mobile title called The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-Earth. It'll be a collectible card RPG with turn-based gameplay, and fantasy and adventure themed elements.

As you might recall, EA released a number of Lord of the Rings games in the 2000s, during the original Xbox generation. It's already got a number of fans calling for some console releases, and for EA to perhaps bring back some of its classic LOTR games. We're sure a series like this would go great on Xbox's Backward Compatible service...

If EA could revive any of its older Middle-Earth games, what would you like to see return? Tell us down in the comments.
