About

Released in 2003 by EA Redwood Shores, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a hack-and-slash action-adventure game adapted from Peter Jackson's film of the same name. A follow-up to the studio's adaptation of the first two films in the trilogy, it expands on the gameplay foundation established by The Two Towers. The game presents three distinct narrative threads drawn from the film: one following Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, a second centered on Gandalf, and a third tracing Frodo and Sam's journey. Merry, Pippin, and Faramir are available as unlockable characters. Multiplayer support was added alongside other expanded gameplay features. The game released across PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, PC, Mac, and mobile platforms.
