"Electronic Arts and Pandemic Studios have just officially confirm that The Lord of the Rings: The Conquest, finally, do not come in 2008. For some time now we have no information in this chapter that will follow the footsteps of the famous Star Wars: Battlefront, so because of the extensive catalog that already owns EA for this Christmas, has been in 2009."
