Gametrailers TV has just aired her episode of this week, featuring Conquest in detail! Loads of new footage and interviews with a few of the key members of the Conquest developement team are featured throughout the episode.
Don’t want to watch? Here are the major new info pieces we found!
- The Battle of the Last Alliance is included
- You can play as a Nazgul and kill Frodo (SP Campaign)
- Hugo Weaving (Elrond from the movies) is narrating both campaigns
- Trolls work like vehicles, your character ‘dissapears’ as you take control of an idle troll
- The Evil campaign is unlocked AFTER the Good campaign, and is a lot more challenging
- The Evil campaign starts at Mount Doom while the battle at the Black Gate is taking place (and Frodo is climbing Mt. Doom)
- You get to take out the entire fellowship and other heroes as an Evil player
- Mumakil kill moves!
- Play as both Uruk-Hai, and Orcs
- Only one player in Multiplayer can play as a Hero. Server settings determine if it’s the weakest or strongest player etc. who gets to play as a Hero.
- Evil heroes include Sauron, the Balrog, Ringwraiths and the Witch-King.
- Sauron can only be taken down in multiplayer by other Heroes

His Dudeness:
Urg... if only I had sound.
zach:
Not too much new info. The trailer made up for it though.
Freek:
Yeah, I would love to see some longer footage, kind've hard to see anything in 3-second combat flashes :(
zach:
Yea it is. I just paused A LOT and looked at all the scenes. It sucks you cant doenload the interview video.
Durrh:
I wanna play ringbearer tag :D
It'll probably be really clumsy :(
zach:
It sounds fun, but 15 vs 1 makes me think you wont be ringbearer too long.
Freek:
Makes me think how the hell will Pandemic explain 15 instead of 9 ringwraiths.
zach:
Yea I know!!!
HMMcKamikaze:
As you can see by what EA has done, the lore itself has been disregarded when convenient. This isn't a game for the hardcore fans as much as it is an opportunity to use an already established mythology to create a game franchise.
Freek:
I guess so :( Playability goes before canon I guess.
Also the trailer is now up in SD quality on our front-page :)
Teregond:
I hope Gandalf use's his Sword as well as his Staff because i see in the video he is only wielding a staff :S
Freek:
We still dont know a lot about combat, but it would be likely that the game would feature primary/secondary weapons for each class, maybe also for the heroes.
zach:
Yea, dont worry yet. We know very little about how the game actually plays!
