A new The Lord of the Rings game has been announced and it will be published by 2K subsidiary, Private Division.
The game will be developed in collaboration with the team behind the special effects and the animation of Peter Jackson’s movie trilogy, Wētā Workshop’s new gaming division.
“It’s a privilege to create a new game set in Middle-earth, especially one that’s so different from what fans have played previously,” said Amie Wolken, Head of Interactive at Wētā Workshop. “As fans ourselves, we’re excited for gamers to explore Middle-earth in a way they never have before, and introduce new fans to the magic of The Lord of the Rings.”

It’s unclear what kind of genre this The Lord of the Rings game will fall under. Only time will tell. However, it is expected to release in 2K’s 2024 fiscal year, so it will be safe to assume it will be new-gen only.
