Following on from a reveal at this year's E3, Asmodee Digital has now updated the launch date of The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game due out on the Switch and multiple other platforms next month.
The game will now be released at the end of the month, on 29th August, instead of 8th August. Apart from this, nothing else about this upcoming trip to Middle-earth has seemingly changed. Here's what you can expect from the first adventure card game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's popular fantasy novels:
The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game offers solo and cooperative adventures based on card battles. The game combines a strong immersive narrative experience with in-depth strategic challenges that will put players’ tactics to the test.
Asmodee says feedback from the game's Early Access phase (on other platforms) has allowed it to fine tune certain features and refine the gameplay mechanics. The game will also stay true to the universe and draw inspiration from the physical card game. You can get a better idea of what to expect in the trailer below:

Considering i had no idea this game even existed i guess i can wait.
Well that's summer ruined.
@BacklogBlues first time i hear of this indeed 😂
I like (digital) card games i like LotR. I will try this, Lets go
Oh no, what a shame.
"YOU SHALL NOT SNAP!"
Interested, but can wait. Would love it if they brought Talisman to the Switch as well.
I am rereading The Two Towers so I guess this is interesting...
What I really want is an actual Lord of the rings RPG type game. I adore LOTR but I would be lying if I said I understood this type of card game.
I am actually genuinely gutted that I won't be able to play this during my summer holiday anymore. I have just got into the tabletop version and, even though I know this digital version is different, I have really enjoyed it.
I was hoping this would scratch the same itch so I just stick to the digital version and not have mountains of cards to try and store somewhere in my house.
Eh, I'd rather have Hearthstone or Pokemon TCGO anyway.
Or that new digital version of Magic the Gathering.
I just want a LotR RPG. Guess I’ll have to stick with the old GameCube ones.
Glad to hear something finally
Is this collectible stuff to sink hundreds of bucks in or is it a complete game?
@daniruy Nice, I’m on Return of the King
@Coxula It's not collectable in the sense of blind packs, but there will likely be plenty of expansions, if it is anything like the quite excellent table top "living card game" (LCG not CCG) it is based on.
Haven't been following this digital version closely, but very much looking forward to checking it out once it's ready.
@aaronsullivan That's what I wanted to hear. I'm OK with expansions but I have already a CCG (Gems of War) which drains my money.
That said I'm looking forward, too. Looks very promising!
@Brady1138 What a lovely piece of literature is The Lord of the Rings. Actually, I'd say is THE piece of literature for me. It is one that really matters - even with the songs which I enjoy very much.
