Turbine has uploaded a new video developer diary on Update 11: Treachery of the White Hand. This video is focused on the new region of Wildermore and the story and people we will be encountering there.
Descriptions of this new zone is shared by Turbine employees
- Aaron Campbell, Senior Producer
- Jesse Smith, Senior Content Designer
- Lauren Salk, Senior Content Designer
- Lucas Slominski, Associate Concept Artist
I have to say the description of the story arc for this area really has me excited! There’s an evil ice giant guy who is bad news in this zone. They gave some description of why this ice giant is up in northern Rohan pertaining to a secret of Morgoth that Saruman has found. I have no clue on the canon of such things but I’m still flipping excited to be like “AHHH ICE GIANT RUNNNNNN!!!”.

The epic story continues as you are called to the remote region of Wildermore! This Eastern Rohan area has been hard hit by an unnatural and deadly winter. A Stone Giant named Núrzum, under the control of Saruman, is rumored as the source of this icy tragedy. Throughout Wildermore, villages have suffered ravage and townsfolk have become refugees. Follow in the chilly footsteps of evil as you attempt to restore this once thriving region.
