Previously titled "Project Gray Company", The Lord of the Rings: The White Council is EA Redwood Shores' second go at a Lord of the Rings RPG. TWC was officially unveiled on July 13, 2006 as the next great Middle-Earth adventure set for release on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC in late 2007.
The Lord of the Rings: The White Council takes players out of the conventional RPG style and allows them freedom of exploration across Middle-Earth. Players will be able to play across the world as a Man, an Elf, a Dwarf or a Hobbit; Your quest: to gain The White Council's respect. This won't be easy though, as the Council itself consists of Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel and Saruman.
Though there is no official confirmation, we can assume that Middle-Earth will be much like those found in the films and, finally, the books. EA Games recently gained the rights to the books' world for videogame creation, allowing players to travel to areas that you might have missed in Peter Jackson's films.
