LOTR: The War of Rohirrim Now Available on Digital in the UK
Nearly a quarter of a century has passed since J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantastical world graced the silver screen. However, this winter, fans can once again immerse themselves in the realm of Elves, warriors, and wizards with “The War of Rohirrim” – the first animated feature set in the Lord of the Rings universe.
Set almost two centuries before Frodo’s epic journey, the film follows King Helm Hammerhand of Rohan, who faces a fierce conflict with the Dunlendings, led by Wulf seeking vengeance for his father’s demise. Yet, rather than centering solely on the renowned ruler, the film shifts its focus to his daughter, Héra. Described as tomboyish and rebellious, she embarks on a mission that could shape Rohan’s destiny.
While cinema offers the ultimate experience to delve into the tale of Rohan’s brave Riders, those eager to know about the film’s digital release need not wait. In the UK, “The War of Rohirrim” has already made its digital debut on January 13, 2025, available for purchase or rental on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and other digital retailers.
For enthusiasts awaiting the physical release, mark your calendars for March 3, 2025, when DVD and Blu-ray copies of the film will hit the shelves in the UK. Pre-orders are already open on the Amazon website, ensuring fans can secure their copies in advance.
Warner Bros. films typically make swift transitions to streaming services post their physical release. Therefore, once “The War of Rohirrim” is out on DVD and Blu-ray, expect it to swiftly land on streaming platforms like Max in the US and Sky/Now in the UK, possibly by March 2025.
In a world where entertainment options are ever-evolving, the allure of revisiting Middle-Earth through this new animated adventure beckons both die-hard fans and curious newcomers alike. So, whether you choose the grandeur of the cinema, the convenience of digital platforms, or the collectible charm of physical copies, the journey back to Rohan promises to be a memorable one for all Tolkien enthusiasts.
