News Update September 2nd 2019- The Road Ahead

We released the Steam version of the game into Full Release on Thursday and there are a number of new players in the game. Welcome new players and welcome back if you haven't played for a while.


If you are looking for tips and pointers on the game, last week we mentioned the online databases and the guides page right here on Steam. One are we didn't mention is the fantastic videos section on Steam as well. Here you will see a great collection of videos on how to play crafted by fellow players. We highly recommend you check out this content, as it will teach you some of the subtle nuances of the game if you are a new player, but you can also get a feel for the game if you thinking of picking it up.




Just a reminder that in honor of Full Release we've placed the first expansion, The Shadow's Fall, on sale until September 9th for 50% of the regular price!

Each expansion includes 4 new heroes, 32 new player cards (2 of each of the 16 different cards), a full new campaign with 5 quests and a host of Sauron cards to encounter. Not to mention 5 quest challenge cards, 4 hero challenge cards and a campaign completion reward.

In this direct sequel to the events of The Shadow's Reach, your fellowship will delve deeper into Southern Mirkwood as you face off against wolves, orcs and the horrors that await you within Dol Guldur.

This is your chance to add the new expansion to your collection for half the price!

What's Next?

Now that we're in Full Release, what's next? Next up is our very next campaign, The Witch King's Grasp, an entirely new set of quests in which we take you west of The Misty Mountains to Bree-land and the Barrow-Downs to face all new foes and overcome all new challenges.

There will be familiar faces, famous locations and a mystery or two for you to uncover in this new expansion, due this Autumn.

Starting next week we'll begin to give more sneak peeks as to what is in store for your fellowships in this all new narrative adventure. which will feature four new heroes that we covered in a previous news update including:









(Please note that these cards are subject to change until release.)




Beyond the next Campaign we're working on a lot more. We'll unveil the full roadmap in the weeks to come, but we're working on new cards, new cosmetics, new emotes, new encounters and new challenge rewards which we will sneak peek here and on our Twitch stream.

We've just released and we're just getting started.



We will be releasing a few quick updates in the next two weeks and will notify players when this happens and what's changed. These will be small updates and shouldn't keep you out of the game for more than a few minutes when they happen.

You can check the latest changes in the meantime in the release notes topic.

Our next major update will be the release of Campaign 3 later this Autumn.
