'The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game' (ALL) Gets Delayed A Few Weeks

by Rainier on Aug. 5, 2019 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT

Build your deck and face the Dark Forces of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game! Lead your own fellowship of heroes through quests that will test your leadership, tactics, lore, and spirit.

Battle Uruks, spiders, orcs, and more as you journey through Middle-earth, earning cards and devising new tactics along the way.

As a Living Card Game, The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game relied on a fixed distribution of cards to remove randomness from the purchase model and brought players deeper into The Lord of the Rings universe with a focus on immersive, narrative-driven experiences. Now, Fantasy Flight Interactive brings that same philosophy to the digital card game market with The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game, a completely unique digital card game with a non-randomized approach to card purchasing and a focus on cooperative, story-based gameplay.

As a single-player experience, The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game— tasks players with leading a team of three heroes through a series of narrative campaigns across Middle-earth as they face off against the dark forces of Sauron, controlled by the computer. Players will forge their own fellowships and build decks comprised of ally, event, and equipment cards to face challenges that test their willpower, knowledge, tactics and leadership. In the future, The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game will be expanded to support co-op play, allowing two players to bring their fellowships together and fight through quests side-by-side!

Ready your weapons, gather your heroes, and create your own story.

Currently available on Steam Early Access, The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game was initially planned to release for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 8th, 2019, but has been delayed until August 29, 2019.

Thanks to the feedback provided by players during its Early Access phase, The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game will feature a finely tuned UI, tutorial, as well as refined gameplay mechanics. Staying true to the J.R.R. Tolkien universe and inspired by the physical card game, Asmodee Digital will welcome players to live the most immersive, yet challenging, adventures in Middle-earth.

Encounter 3: Gundabad Awoken is available for free today for all current Early Access players. They will face hordes of goblins while also dealing with Sauron’s new abilities. New Shadow, Treachery and Event cards can be used by Sauron against players’ fellowships. In the  hills and mountains near Gundabad, challenge-seeking players will live a new experience putting their fellowships to the test.
