How co-op works
Two local players follow the trilogy and explore Middle-earth with drop-in, drop-out play, switching among Fellowship members to combine weapons, magical items, and character abilities for combat, riddles, and collectibles. Steam Remote Play Together supports remote sessions.
About this game
Traveller's Tales adapts all three Lord of the Rings films into a LEGO adventure that pairs faithful story moments with gentle humor and destructible environments. Two players can team up locally to guide the Fellowship across Middle-earth, smashing scenery, building contraptions, and taking down enemies side by side in true co-op.

Gameplay centers on switching between characters to use their unique skills: Legolas vaults ledges, Gimli smashes cracked stone, and hobbits squeeze through tight gaps. Combat is simple and approachable, while puzzles ask both players to coordinate abilities, gather studs, and explore every corner for hidden collectibles that reward curiosity.
Local multiplayer supports both single-screen and split-screen modes on PC, with Steam Remote Play Together available for streaming to a friend. The campaign flows best when shared, turning epic battles and lighthearted cutscenes into a full playthrough of the trilogy that feels more rewarding with two people working together.
