New Lord of the Rings game coming from Take Two and the movies’ FX shop

A new Lord of the Rings game is on the way, this time from Take-Two Interactive’s Private Division. This publishing company is well-known for its games such as The Outer Worlds And Hades. This time around, though, it is partnering with the interactive game division Wētā Workshop, a New Zealand-based company that made props and did special effects work on the Lord of the Rings movies.

Lord of the Rings: The new game will be set in Middle-earth. In a press release, Amie Wolken, the head of interactive at Wētā Workshop said, “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. 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.”

Although the game is currently in early development, there is no release date or title. It will launch somewhere in 2024.
