Turbine is so excited about the launch of their latest major content update for Lord of the Rings Online that they've released a brand new trailer for it! Update 6: Shores of the Great River will bring in a new region (take a guess where), epic story additions, and instance finder updates. Update 6 also heralds the introduction of the "Soldier on Landscape" feature, which literally translates to players being able to summon their skirmish companion soldiers on the field. Perhaps not the most elegant of feature names, but you can't fault them for being descriptive.
You check out the new trailer below, and stay tuned this week for ZAM's in-game tour in Update 6!
