Warner Bros has announced that The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest will be the first in a series of games based on the Tolkien license.

As part of the franchise, Warner will publish multiple games across many genres designed to appeal to a wide range of gamers, and promises something for both hard-core RPG fans and their families.

“The Lord of the Rings franchise is world renowned for its captivating adventures, and we are creating new experiences in the game space designed to appeal to a wide array of consumer tastes from core to casual,” said Warner president Martin Tremblay.

“The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest is the first of many different types of games we will be developing with the film and literary rights.”

In Aragorn’s Quest, players can choose between various weapons, battle on horseback, and play co-op as Gandalf.

Hopefully this sort of thing will be implemented for adults as well.

We are crossing our fingers now.

Press release after the break.
