Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition Leak Suggests Remaster

A SteamDB entry for “Lord of the Rings: War in the NorthLegacy Edition” has surfaced, indicating a possible remaster or remake of the 2011 co‑op action game for PC. The original title, developed by Snowblind Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, received mixed‑to‑positive reviews but sold under one million copies and was later removed from digital stores due to licensing issues. The new listing, first added to the database in 2023 and updated on 2 August, lists support for single‑player, local and online co‑op and mentions the Epic Online Services SDK, implying a shift to the Unreal Engine. No official announcement has been made, and the game’s rights are now held by Middle‑earth Enterprises, a subsidiary of the Embracer Group. The leak suggests the Legacy Edition could restore availability and address technical shortcomings of the original.
