Electronic Arts announced the expansion of The Lord of the Rings universe with The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, The Rise of the Witch-king. In the The Rise of the Witch-king, players will cross to the dark side of Middle-earth as the evil Witch-king rises to power, rules over Angmar and launches an invasion of Arnor, home of AragornÂ’s ancestors. To fully experience the evil side of Middle-earth, gamers can now play as the Angmar faction in the skirmish, multiplayer, and War of the Ring modes.

The expansion pack provides a new depth of strategy and upgraded War of the Ring and Create-A-Hero features. Create-A-HeroÂ’s Troll class has additional weapons and armor for even greater freedom in customizing game play. War of the Ring offers upgraded army persistence, a new siege dynamic on the Living World Map, and unified territories.
 
"The Lord of Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, The Rise of the Witch-king will transport players to a new time and place in Middle-earth while adding strategic depth to the innovative gameplay gamers loved in The Lord of Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II," said Mike EALA. "Fans will love exploring the evil side of Middle-earth as described in Tolkien's fiction and brought to life in the visual style of the New Line Cinema films. This game is set to deliver the ultimate RTS Middle-earth experience."

So why are we hearing about this?

I have the same question as meg, is this even coming out on the 360 because it seems to be too big for downloadable content. It would be cool if it did because LoTR BfME2 was really good.
