It’s official: A new Lord of the Rings game is coming  

From Private Division and Weta Workshop

Private Division has officially announced that they have a brand new game in the works, which is based on JRR Tolkien ‘s Middle Earth and is being developed by Weta Workshop . The second is a company that has worked on the effects and props in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films .

It is a game that will arrive with the “stamp” of ” Middle-earth Enterprises “, which gave the license for the literary works of the franchise. Among other things, the Private Division stated the following:

The Lord of the Rings IP is home to so many remarkable stories, and no entity is better equipped than the team at Weta Workshop to create a distinctive, new gaming experience for Middle Earth.

Although Weta Workshop is known for its effects work, in 2014 it created a new gaming division that is now working on the new title. This game is in an early stage and is currently slated for release in fiscal year 2024 by Take-Two , which owns Private Division.

This means, barring the unexpected, the new The Lord of the Rings game will be released between April 2023 and March 2024.

Let us remind you somewhere here that the franchise will soon have an adventure with Gollum, as well as a game that EA is preparing.
