TitledThe Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined, the stunningPCproject is blowing away fans who’ve been longing for the title’s return.
“I am amazed!” remarked @goldenorbstudios. “I would pay good money for a full game like this I am extremely impressed!”
Another posted, “God damn that’s pretty.”

A link to theConquest Reimagineddemo is provided in the trailer caption, yet when you click on it, the site can’t be reached anymore.
This could mean that the project has since been scrapped – which would break our nerdy little hearts – or it could be that the developers have moved the project elsewhere.
We pray it’s the latter.
Still, even if the worst has happened and the remake has been culled, we have its gorgeous showcase to admire. It’s bittersweet for sure, but it might inspire other fans to take up the mantle instead.

All is not lost for fans chomping at the bit for a new adventure, though, asTales of the Shirepromises to deliver a much-needed tale that deviates from the bloody battles we know.
It’s not the remake you’d all hoped for, but at least it’s something. And who knows,Conquest Reimaginedmight not be dead and buried yet; we certainly hope it isn’t.
