Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today has released two new Battle Profile gameplay videos for Guardians of Middle-earth. The first Battle Profile features Hildifons, a resourceful Hobbit who can kindle fires and create explosions from almost nothing and Sauron, the ultimate embodiment of evil in Middle-earth. The second Battle Profile gameplay video includes Aragorn’s father, Arathorn and Runsig, who were revealed for hands-on play earlier this month at GamesCom.

The Hildifons and Sauron game characters in Guardians of Middle-earth will be available for hands-on play to attendees of the 2012 PAX Prime show in Seattle, Wash. beginning Aug. 31, alongside eight other playable characters including Gandalf, Legolas, Gollum, Galadriel and Sauron.

From Aug. 31 though Sept. 2, the Guardians of Middle-earth Pro-am tournament at PAX Prime will take place, where gamers can play the new game as they compete against multiplayer online battle area (MOBA) pro players including Dan Dinh (@EpikGamer), Lyubomir ‘Bloodwater’ Spasov (@CLG_BloodWater) and Sam ‘Milkfat’ Braithwaite.

Guardians of Middle-earth is a new multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed by Monolith Productions, set to be released in fall 2012 on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network. The console-based MOBA offers more than 20 iconic guardians including Gandalf, Sauron, Gollum, Galadriel, Legolas and many more for players to control in PVP arena battles. Gamers will have the ability to connect with other players via an in-game voice communication system, as well as access to a comprehensive online stat and leader board system where they can track friends’ victories and defeats, and more.

It might just be me, but I would put my money on Sauron.
