Who's behind the game
The development involves several companies, with Embracer Group, owner of the rights to The Lord of the Rings for video games, and the studio Revenge standing out. Other partners have not been confirmed yet. So far, neither Embracer nor Revenge have made official statements, limiting themselves to not commenting on "rumors or speculation."
A game for fans and new players
The goal of the game is to offer an immersive third-person action experience, with mechanics similar to those of Hogwarts Legacy, combining exploration, combat, and interactive storytelling. According to sources close to the project, it will target both veteran fans of the saga and new players.
The studio seeks to create a title that can compete in the blockbuster market, with next-generation graphics and detailed environments that transport users to Middle-earth.
