- A brand-new third-person action Lord of the Rings is now under development, as per a new report.
- This title is stated to compete with Hogwarts Legacy.
- A reveal for the game could happen soon, likely next week, or at the upcoming The Game Awards show.
The Lord of the Rings IP is finally ready to set its foot back in the gaming world after a rough period, particularly referring to the disastrous launch of 2023’s Gollum.
Anyhow, a new Lord of the Rings game is now in development, reportedly a third-person action game. Moreover, this title also aims to compete with Warner Bros.’ Hogwarts Legacy.
Why it matters: The Lord of the Rings is one of the most lore-rich and diverse IPs that has tons of potential in the gaming world. A glimpse of that potential has already been unveiled, but the last decent entry was released almost a decade ago.
Insider Gaming published this report, and according to their sources, the title is being funded by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. So far, the funding is said to be around $100 million.
Furthermore, multiple parties are involved in this project, including Embracer Group, Revenge, and other studios. Embracer Group actually holds the license to the IP, which it acquired for a whopping $400 million back in 2022.
The title began development last year, and an official reveal is expected soon, possibly as early as next week. Or, The Game Awards is just around the corner, which is an excellent time for the project’s reveal.
