After a vicious attack, a survivor flees and tells the kingdom’s leader that "he" has killed them all with his bare hands. The rest of the clip shows the dark and snowy winter sweeping through the kingdom, Orcs collecting fistꦉfuls of rings to take to Mordor, and a new look at main character Héra Hammerhand voiced by Gaia Wise.

Set 183 years before the events of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy based on the beloved books by J.R.R.

The official synopsis from War⛦ner Bros reads: "Wulf, seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance againsꦜt a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction."
