Lord of the Rings fans should be happy, as Wētā Workshop is officially working on a new game set in the Middle-earth universe.
Private Division announced the news today (August 15) and will be on publishing duties for the as-of-yet unnamed title. Last year, a job ad for a producer role at Wētā Workshop was advertised, which was supposed to be for a new project based on a “major worldwide IP.” It seems like that IP is in fact Lord of the Rings, which makes a lot of sense considering the studio literally worked on the effects of the original films.
The press release noted that the game is still in “early development,” and doesn’t currently have a release date, but is apparently expected to launch during Take Two’s Fiscal year 2024.
