Electronic Arts announced today the development of The Lord of the Rings, The White Council, an all-new role playing game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game, inspired by the New Line Cinema feature film trilogy that grossed more than $3 billion, will feature an original storyline derived from J.R.R. TolkienÂ’s The Lord of the Rings novels under an agreement with EA. The game is scheduled to ship in late 2007.

“Our extremely talented and dedicated team is committed to creating an incredible new experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and role playing gamers,” said Steve Gray, executive producer, The Lord of the Rings, The White Council. “With its next generation gameplay and epic new storyline, we think The Lord of the Rings, The White Council will be a huge success.”

Players have the freedom to explore the open world of TolkienÂ’s Middle-Earth in The Lord of the Rings: The White Council. Players can choose their role as a man, an elf, a dwarf, or a hobbit. Each roleÂ’s destiny is to become a hero allied with the White Council, whose members include the famed characters Gandalf, Saruman, Galadriel, and Elrond. When more news becomes available for this new title we'll be sure to keep you informed.
