New Lord of the Rings Game Officially in Development

The Lord of the Rings, one of the biggest franchises in the gaming world, is back in the spotlight. Sources say a new project has been in development for some time, and the countdown to the official announcement has begun. This time, not only major studios but also international investors are involved.

A New Action Game Set in the Lord of the Rings Universe

According to sources, the game is being designed as a third-person action game. The goal is to deliver a vast and immersive experience rivaling its peers. Specifically, plans are reportedly being planned for a production with a scope comparable to Hogwarts Legacy. This creates high expectations for both exploration and storytelling.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) is reportedly involved in the project’s financing. The game, expected to be backed by a budget of approximately $100 million, is expected to be officially signed shortly. While development has so far been carried out by the studios themselves, external investment is expected to accelerate the project.

Embracer Group acquired the rights to the Lord of the Rings video game for $400 million in 2022. Since then, the company has made deals with various studios, paving the way for new games. While the previously released The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was met with critical acclaim, the new project is generating much higher expectations. Studio Revenge is also among the developers involved in the development process.

While official announcements are limited, the game is expected to combine the magnificent atmosphere of Middle-earth with modern graphics. If the rumors prove true, a production that will be talked about for a long time by both fans of the series and action-adventure enthusiasts could be on its way.
