The Lord of the Rings: Conquest announced

PS3 News | Pandemic hard at work on another game.
According to IGN Australian developer Pandemic is currently hard at work on The Lords of the Rings: Conquest, for the PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

The game is a semi spiritual sequel to the Star Wars: Battlefront games and will allow players to jump into a battle seen in the films. In the game players will be able to take control of many characters and creatures from the series. The game will also include online support for up to eight players, and four players are able to play cooperatively through the main campaign online or via four player split-screen.

"Our Pandemic Studios creative teams have years of expertise bringing giant battlefields to life," says Andrew Goldman, Pandemic Studios co-founder and general manager. "We've always wanted to harness our experience in a fantasy universe with warriors, archers, mages and castle sieges. Of course, there is truly no better fantasy world to recreate than the enormity of 'The Lord of the Rings' realm."

"We'll freely admit that we're rabid fans of The Lord of the Rings fantasy," says Josh Resnick, co-founder and general manager at Pandemic Studios. "Our experience creating massive, rich, action-packed games means that The Lord of the Rings: Conquest will give fans exactly what they want: full control of the blade, bow and magic to fight its epic battles any way they want – even if they choose to play from the evil side."

Pandemic got booted from the Battlefront franchise and now they take their only skill over to LOTR. I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing? Are they inept at creating any other genre?

You think it will be one of those games that goes cheap after like a 1 month of release?
