Warner Bros. has revealed that a new family-focused video game based on the Lord Of The Rings trilogy is in development.

According to Gamespot, a pre-E3 press release from the firm said that the game will be titled The Lord Of The Rings: Aragorn's Quest.

The accompanying description claims that it will be the "first Lord Of The Rings video game created specifically for kids and their families, with accessible gameplay set in a friendly, colourful rendition of Middle Earth".

Players will take the role of Strider/Aragorn and take part in one of his "greatest quests" from the trilogy, involving "action-oriented sword fighting, lancing and archery".

More details are expected to be announced when the E3 Expo gets underway on June 1.
