A new adventure is brewing in The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth™!
Soon you will be able to seize the power of the New Ring and rewrite history. Good or evil - the choice will be yours…
You have been asking and the time has come to rally your troops, prepare lembas bread for the journey ahead, as it all begins on May 10th!
☀️ iOS - sign up here for updates:
☀️ Android Pre-registration:
"The sign has been given...and the day is not far off."
Tomorrow a new page will be turned and we hope to welcome you all to Middle-earth. Will you be joining us?
Are you looking forward to May 10th? Because we are!
We're just sprinkling a little extra magic in as we head into our final week before launch! Making sure we have just the right amount of polish, and overabundance of love, and a second steep of tea.
Amidst darkness, hope and goodness may still be found, for love and grief are intertwined, revealing our true capability.
Are you prepared to brave the trials and become a Ring-bearer?
Elves continue to be celebrated all month long and we are ALWAYS happy to partake in a celebration!
Be sure to check out the latest details on the next upcoming Marquee featuring Elladan!
In Middle-earth, you're not truly an adventurer until you've faced a horde of angry orcs!
The orcs of Middle-earth are waiting for you to prove your mettle - download now and join the fight!
We'll be ready to offer a nice cup of tea upon your return.
In a few days, Arwen's Marquee will open and everyone will be able to begin battling within The Bitter and the Sweet to bring Arwen into their own teams. While we may be the bringer of tea and scones, Arwen's light brings hope to those in need.
For those who join in on May 10th, we’ll have a little extra aid to support your adventure. The more who join, the bigger of a welcome gift it’ll be! So light the beacons and tell your friends!
"Here is the sword that was broken and is forged again. Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly!"
In other words, we're so excited to announce that Pre-Registration is opening soon and we look forward to you joining our battle!
A new month brings new adventure: The Bitter and the Sweet. Prepare yourself to fight against the darkness and unlock Arwen, the Lady of Rivendell. The time to battle is now!
We'll join after we finish Second Breakfast.
We, here at Capital Games, have been hard at work (it feels like we've gone to Mordor and back!) but we're excited to looking to the future and hope to be sharing some exciting news soon.
We're incredibly excited to announce the upcoming arrival of some of our Fellowship characters. They're quite a lot of fun and making quite charming companions.
Hobbit approved, most assuredly.

Yester-eve we had the pleasure of witnessing a conversation in World Chat. Whether it be for a Fair Maiden or otherwise, we believe that the advice is perfect for life in general.
May you go into the weekend with a heart of gold like Samwise. We love you all!
Are you prepared to aim, fire, and land with grace?
Neither are we...but we ARE prepared to welcome Legolas to Heroes of Middle-earth. His Marquee event begins July 10th and we are running every which way with excitement!

In case any of you have missed it (too busy playing perhaps!) we wanted to let you know that we shared some words on our website the other day.
Lots of little goodies to take in! So incredibly happy to be sharing this journey with you all so thank you!
For those starting out, we've heard word that it's not terribly clear how to change the Ally you provide to your Guildmates for use. We put together a little video that we hope helps! If there's others that might be useful for us to do, let us know; we like being helpful!
There’s many a foe who you might face within the world of Middle-earth… but it’s always best with a friend by your side.
Tag the friend who you would bring upon this journey.
Ninnyhammers! We've been so busy prepping for launch that we didn't notice we blew by our latest goal last week!

No worries if you're on iOS, all who play in the first week will receive rewards!
It's incredible what we've already accomplished. We took a look today and we're already 50% towards our goals! You all are amazing and we're so grateful for the support.

Adventures were had filled with merriment and mirth and we are looking forward for what the new year has in store. What do you hope the new year brings for you?
As this month comes to an end, we are readying ourselves for further adventures as we look to the future. Where do you hope this month will take you? Are you prepared? As for us, we embrace the unexpected. Those are the best journeys.
The journey we're embarking on includes new friends...or perhaps foes. In either case, we will remain by your side with a spear - or scone - in our hands. Whichever is most useful.
We vote scone.
In a little less than 24 hours, we shall have a bittersweet farewell for The Bitter and the Sweet event. We hope you all rose to the challenge and have had the joy to add Arwen to your roster. She is quite lovely company, wouldn't you agree?
Known for his stout courage and forever faithful in the dark, we welcome Gimli to Middle-earth.
Now is the time to battle and unlock the son of Glóin for yourself!
We've been continuing to fine tune both the game - and our instruments - and are pleased to announce that users in Australia & Austria can now enter Soft Launch! We're still eager to hear your feedback as we look to World Wide Launch, so do let us know your thoughts.

#TolkienTuesday
and to celebrate, we're giving a little peek at one of the newer cast of characters that will be part of our Middle-earth imaginings. We can almost hear him singing, "Fifteen birds in five firtrees..."
When you pause to take a moment to yourself, to embrace the quiet joys, it gives room for you to notice a change - a Change in the Wind perhaps...
A new event is on the horizon...Lord Elrond shall soon arrive.
We feel eternally grateful to have the friendship and the strength of one such as Legolas by our side.
May your arrows fly true and may you experience his strength for yourself - Legolas's event, A Northern Light, continues through the weekend.
@OldGameage
This is high on our list (and we're not talking about the tea) as we've been noticing it on our end and it's an obvious pain. We understand fighting an orc might be easier than getting gold and that doesn't feel right. We are working towards solutions.
December is on the horizon and with it brings new tales of Adventure. Learn more about Thorin and his Company as they join the ranks within Middle-earth!
We wish upon you the warmth of the day,
Where the sun beams drive all worries astray.
And before you head to sleep at night
Enjoy the twinkle of the stars so bright.
Have the most wondrous of weekends!
For those who have been asking, "When is raid happening?" we can't give you that exact answer... But, we can supply a little more information to help you prepare for its arrival!
It is said that there is no greater friendship 'tween that of Dwarf and Elf than that of Gimli and Legolas.
To that end, we could hardly tout the arrival of Legolas without sharing the same of Gimli. Gifted with steel, a stout yet fierce warrior indeed!
Yesterday, Bekelu joined Middle-earth.
While we don't know if she likes long walks on the beach or sunsets, we DO know she likes dancing.
With blades.
You've been warned.
There's a saying that it's good to know your enemy... but what happens when the opportunity arises to ally with the darkness?

Aragorn, the renowned Ranger, will be joining the adventuring party in The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth!
Who do you want to join this epic journey?
The weekend snuck up on us - just like Faramir's Stealth and Arrows event!
If you missed it, be sure to read up on Faramir and then go participate in his adventure.
There are many stories within the pages of Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. But this is not one of them. This is a story sprung from tales of yore...tales of what could have been had a different story been told.
Discover Lord Balin had he survived Moria today!
While we start Exploring areas of growth within Heroes of Middle-earth it's only Natural that we celebrate the foundation that got us here. 🌱
🌱🌸 Here's to our favorite Friend of the Forest and we hope you're having an amazing weekend!
We've been taking our time to hole up with a good book (you have 4 guesses towards which might be our favorite) and unlocking the latest character Marquee: Tibeb!
We're delighted to say that she's free to unlock this weekend!
Yesterday, we were greeted with the sounds of music to take us through our day. We must have got caught up in the melody because we forgot to encourage you to join in!
Bifur's Marquee is going on this week so follow the music and unlock him today!
We're both humbled and honored to have been selected for a

There's a day and a half left for Elladan's Adventure - one of five Elves to help prepare for Lord Elrond's arrival. We can officially steep a new cup of tea and relax as we are prepared. Are you?
@TeawithTolkien
- any preferred flavors?
The roll of Thunder and the flash of Lightning continue strong for today only - one more day before the storm subsides and Elladan's Marquee event ends. Such events must pass before a Change in the Wind can occur...
We are aware that some folks are experiencing a variety of early blockers (we're getting fixes in ASAP!) For those who want more technical responses (and the actual ability to fix things) we are working on responding via our Support Team:
May the warmth of Rivendell guide you into the weekend.
While the Legendary Lord Elrond event continues, we'd love to know how else you're spending this weekend! We might use the time to take a nap under a shady tree.
For those not following along on our Discord channel, you may have missed last Friday's Q&A with our Team's Game Director. From music to game modes, questions got answered. Also, answers regarding pizza. We, in particular, support longer conversing on the nuances of pizza.
Ring-bearers, on the hunt for the latest character details and news?
@Tauna_YT
has you covered with an exclusive look at the character kit for Elladan - coming to The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth!
Before we head off into a long weekend, we thought it best to leave you all with some light reading on our newest upcoming feature: Glyphs!
Check out more information here:
The doom, boom, doom of the drums may have faded - with many an orc felled. But the final challenge awaits you. Through trembling pillars and quivering flames - will you be successful as you face the Balrog?

We shared this on Youtube awhile back, but wanted to make sure no one missed out!
Did you like the early storyboards? As we build out more Dev Diaries, we would love to know what sorts of topics and content you find most interesting!
With the holidays this weekend (and week) we're a little quiet today, but know that some of that is due to the hard work that is happening behind the scenes.
We look forward to sharing that with you soon, but in the meantime, may your week bring you delight and joy!
We're excited to see this week's topic by

Regardless, we share in the love for all who embrace the world of Middle-earth in whatever medium or game they choose!

We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Monday's can sometimes be difficult, but we hope to bring a little joy your way. Arwen's Marquee event has returned to Middle-earth!
While Haradrim month wrapped up last week, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the work and thought that went behind them. One of our producers took the time to sit down and reveal a little more about these warriors...
What if Balin had not fallen in the Mines of Moria and instead lived to face the Balrog?
Timelines have been shattered and new stories are coming to light. Don't miss your opportunity to discover this untold tale and add Lord Balin to your teams!
Now that we hope you've had a chance to soak in the warmth of a cozy cup of tea while diving into Glyphs, we'd love to hear your first thoughts and impressions on the system!
Friday's are made for looking back on the week at all you've accomplished and looking forward to what is yet to come.
For those who have unlocked Lord Balin, celebrate! For those who have not, read up on him and then battle before it's too late!
Bring your favorite characters together with special Team Up attacks in The Lord of Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth!
Tell us what is your favorite duo from The Lord of the Rings?
The best spent days are those with friends - who is the Legolas to your Gimli... or are you Gimli to their Legolas?
Tag your friend and let us know! May you both enjoy your Saturday!

Due to limitations on iOS, we won't be able to run pre-registration on their platform, but we promise to work hard on communicating here when regions open up as well as additional game timing.

@LOTRHeroes
Raid where you'll face hordes of Orcs on your way to a fiery foe. You'd better bring some powerful friends.

Hail the Darkness and embrace the Advancing Shadow...
Rehka’s devotion to Dol Guldur knows no bounds and should you unlock her, she will be forever prepared to do battle.
Timelines have shattered once more! Orophin has ventured far from the woods of Lothlórien to join Lord Balin. Learn more about Orophin and be sure unlock him in a limited-time adventure!

On Monday, from 9-11am PT, a bunch of us are getting together in the office to crowd around our single computer - we'll be stealing it for the day - and answer YOUR questions! Look out for more details coming soon on our Reddit AMA!

Don't miss out on Bilbo Baggins's Adventure - going on for the next few days!

"For the love of Middle Earth". Have to say, that's a great exclamation.
We're all for more music so we'll pass that along to the masters of music and song!
For some, today is a day of feasting! And any day that has a feast is a favorite day of ours!
What is your favorite thing to consume upon the table? For us, it's Potatoes. Hands down. Po-ta-toes. 🥔🥔🥔
Busy weekend planned? Or blessed with the ability to take it at your own pace?
If you haven't already and you find yourself with ~seven minutes to spare (perfect timing to both heat water and steep tea) you can listen to some of our team talk Raids!
@FellowshipFans
Pending who you ask here, you might find many answers. I, for one, am always fond of a song, and will merrily hum about an inn, a merry old inn - beneath an old grey hill. And there they brew a beer so brown that the Man in the Moon himself came down one night to drink his fill.
