If you've spent the entire afternoon sat there thinking, "Woah, man, I really wish EA would hurry up and bring out an expansion for that Lord of the Rings strategy game, Battle for Middle-earth II", then prepare yourself for news so stunning, your eyelids may invert.
Apparently, an EA rep (know as Apoc) has officially confirmed on a forum thread over at GameReplays.org that work on the rumoured add-on is underway and that more details will be revealed in due course. That's not all though - the post also divulges the expansion's moniker, known as "The Rise of the Witch-king".
Tolkien addicts will know that refers to the dark leader of the Nazgul, so we can probably expect ring wraith action a plenty and some interesting backstory on the succession of the Witch-king. Rather hilariously someone apparently mis-heard the title and translated it as 'The Life of the Witch-king'. Now that would be a corker - we're picturing a This Is Your Life-style expose, with a surprised dark lord encountering various friends and foes from his past (...and here's that horrible little hobbit that stabbed ya!).
Ahem, anyway flights of fancy aside, it seems that EA is readying to reveal all at this week's Comic Con, with Apoc confirming that more information will follow soon. Stay tuned and all that. Aye?
