Codemasters Online Gaming will publish and operate the game throughout Europe, offering support in English, French and German. This is the latest in a series of online games which Codemasters Online Gaming is handling, including RF Online, Turbine’s Dungeons & Dragons Online, and Archlord.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is the only MMORPG based on the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and will allow players to experience an evolving world as they adventure either in a Fellowship or on their own. Choose to play as a Human, Elf, Dwarf or Hobbit and stop Sauron’s minions from claiming the lands of Middle-Earth.

Through the last year we have established a close working relationship with Codemasters and have been impressed with its commitment and expertise in the online gaming space. We are delighted to partner further with the company to deliver The Lord of the Rings Online experience throughout Europe,” said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is expected to launch at the end of the year.
