Redwood City, Calif. -- Video game publisher Electronic Arts announced on Monday that it has secured additional rights from Tolkien Enterprises to develop games based on author J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." To this point, EA had only secured rights to develop titles based on director Peter Jackson's film trilogy adaptation of the novels; the new games will include characters, environments and battles not depicted in the films. Redwood City, Calif.-based Electronic Arts said it will release "The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II" for PC and "The Lord of the Rings: Tactics" for Sony PSP based on the new license.
