First screens for LotRO Vol. II Book 8 Scourge of Khazad-dum


The very first screens from Lord of the Rings Online's upcoming free update are some of the best yet, featuring the Water Wheels and a new -- and enormous -- enemy fighting various player characters. We're really digging the monster design here, and highly recommend that you check it our for yourself to see what we're talking about.

Our guess is that the Water Wheels is a new instance. Can we just say that the whole wood and stone architecture is really awesome? It certainly adds some new variety to Turbine's envisioning of Middle-earth, not that there wasn't any to begin with -- making the achievement that much more impressive.

There's sure to be more screens and potentially concept art in the days to come, so keep your eyes peeled for it! And while you're doing that be sure to be on the lookout for our forthcoming Volume 2: Book 8 developer tour, too.%Gallery-64288%
