A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid...?
And it seems Challenge mode isn't entirely what we expected. Challenge mode will be about replaying parts of the campaign in which you'll get extra challenges so a deeper exploration and things like that will be necessary.
Then again, that raises questions about the extra challenge mode maps in the special editions :P

@ElveHaldir - I'm working on a dev blog to fix some vague inaccuracies in the video. All the content is correct, but some of the names are mushed together in what could be a confusing way.
So - here we go:
New Game + is where you'll find the ability to go back, find loot and armor you may have missed, rank up your loot against tougher enemies, and grow your XP.
Challenge Maps are where you can play through several waves of enemies in an arena style setting. Also, I'll have an announcement about the Challenge maps later today (hopefully) - I'm just waiting on approval from the licensing folks.

I'm happy to see we've finally got some (inaccurate) info on the challenge mapscool stuff.
Hehe, I already noticed most of the footage is from waaaaaay back, with the behind the scenes interview in the garden (Especially Ruth's signature scarf and green sweater gave it away) :P
But thanks for clearing that up, that sounds a lot better, SnowblindTina!![]()

Nice video and thanks for the update on the challenge mode. (the misleading video had my heart dropping when I heard about the challenge mode info. Until your post gave me some hope thanks!)
Merry: [watching Saruman look out at the ruin of Isengard from the tower] He doesn't look too happy, does he?
Pippin: Not too happy at all, Merry.
Merry: Still, I suppose the view would be quite nice from up there.
Pippin: Oh yes, its a quality establishment. I hear the staff are VERY good
Great video ! I'm very delighted to get some news on Challenge maps , plus the replay value of WITN ; the graphics seem good and have been polished a bit since the lastest gameplay video . I also love the stunning landscapes , most of them in Ettenmoors , with the Misty Mountains in the back .![]()
Yes, I'm a fan of this video! Absolutely waiting on some clarity about challenge mode! Grrr... licensing... I knew it was a legal matter keeping us in the dark!
@Johnnyhayek - We're updating the dev blog now, and should have it up before our Chat & Watch event at 2pm!
