By | September 4, 2009 | | Filed under: News | Tags: , , , , ,

Turbine has unveiled the next expansion for The Lord of the Rings Online titled Siege of Mirkwood. The expansion is being labeled as a digital expansion and will be available this fall. The update will feature a conclusion of Volume 2: Mines of Moria and raise the level cap.

A very interesting new feature coming with the update is the skirmishes feature:

Answer the Call of War! – Jump into the heat of battle with the new Skirmishes feature. Skirmishes offer endless action in repeatable, randomized instances where players can create and lead customizable soldiers into battle, training them to greater skill as they earn victories against the forces of shadow. Answer the call of war wherever violence erupts with the new “World Join” function that lets players and their fellowships band together to fight in various locations throughout Middle-earth.

Pricing and availability has not been announced yet but more information can be found at the official website.
