Electronic Arts announced today that an RPG called The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is under development for a planned fall 2004 release. The epic quest in which players will take on the roles of new characters choosing their own path through Middle-earth while interacting with the heroes and villains of the trilogy, will be available for all major platforms including the Game Boy Advance.

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age allows players to adventure through Middle-earth, building a party of heroes as they journey. Players battle on the side of the Fellowship, but can unlock additional encounters where they fight on the side of Sauron as they progress. In the game, players will interact with the characters of the Fellowship in a unique structure, taking on individual quests while intersecting the major events of the film trilogy that drive the story forward. Parties will traverse through both familiar and seldom-glimpsed locations, using an innovative turn-based battle system as they fight, encountering the demonic Balrog in the Mines of Moria, defending the fallen city of Osgiliath, or trying to destroy Helm?s Deep.

The game is currently scheduled for a release in the fall of 2004.
