Turbine releases new Siege of Mirkwood screenshots

The new Lord of the Rings Online expansion, Siege of Mirkwood, has players enjoying a wealth of new content and improved mechanics, and with some ramped-up hardware on the way things are bound to get even better.

Tower raids are a part of Mirkwood that players have been enjoying, and how could they not? Attacking the tower, taking on Sauron's minions, and fighting a dragon -- what's not to love? Today Turbine released six new screenshots from a tower raid, and as usual they are gorgeous, giving a very nice overall look at the scenery both inside and out.

Lord of the Rings Online has got a lot going on over the next two weeks, but if you can tear yourself away from the beer fights for a bit, these screenshots should provide some incentive to check out a new area in Mirkwood (if you haven't already). Follow along after the jump for a look.
