The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Co-op Q&A

The guys over at Middle-earth Center managed to score a short Q&A with Snowblind Studios' Ryan Geithman about how the co-op component will work in their recently unveiled action RPG, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Up to two players per console confirmed:
WITN: Fans are excited about the three-player co-op, but have questions as to how it'll work from a technical standpoint. What can they expect?

Ryan Geithman [Snowblind Studio Head]: I've been reading the forums and had noticed that question coming up, too. I think our fans will be excited to know that we fully support same console co-op (split screen).

WITN: Awesome, so two-player (couch co-op) is in. Great to hear. How else can people play?

Ryan G.: Any combination of three players, basically Two on one console and another on a third, or 3 consoles networked, etc.
Great news, indeed.
