This looks, well, odd. I hold the controversial view that Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies were fairly tedious documentaries about walking and closeted hobbit homosexuality.
I loved Tolkien’s books, which allowed for some very intricate character building over the course of the journey.
So I don’t know if my judgement is just a little bit off with regards to this trailer but it feels like a Lord of the Rings fighting game to me. Like WB Games are about to pull off a big shock and announce it’s taking place in the Mortal Kombat universe. It’s all very red versus blue.
See for yourself and tell me how wrong I am in the comments!

Bit of trouble with embedding today? :s Looks quite interesting though. LOTR franchise still going strong

Whatever changes you’ve made in the background to embed YouTube videos, there appear to be some kinks still to iron out!

This is the third URL I’ve seen appearing in the body text in as many days.
Or are publishers being bastards and making their vids private?

it’s all Nofi’s fault apparently. ^_^

Checked it on YouTube. Eh, no. There are so many things wrong with this whole concept. Gollum FIGHTING Gandalf? That just doesn’t make any sense at all.
Krugsy
It is kinda funny seeing Gollum continuously fail though.

im thinking either LOTR Kombat or….. LOTR Ultimate Alliance? either way, naaah!

It’s a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game. I think I’ll pass.

A 2D fighting game with LOTR characters would interest me, though :-)

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!
Sorry, couldn’t help it.
I actually agree with you though- seems a bad idea to me.

I’m going to disagree with everyone and be cautiously optimistic about this.
Also, the LOTR films are amazing.

The films are great but a RvB, Marvel vs Capcom style 3v3 fighting game? think i’ll pass
Bilbo_bobbins
what a load of tosh.
hazelam
well, that gives no indication of what the game will be like.
except the way they all line up and stand there reminded me of a classic old school turn based rpg.
hazelam
ooh, middle earth battle royale?
