The new Lord of the Rings game set in the Middle-earth universe is under construction under Take Two and is expected to be released in 2024.
The new Lord of the Rings game is on the way. Private Division, the game company under Take Two, will be working with Weta Workshop, which is also working on Private Division, Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the upcoming Lord of the Rings Rings of Power visual effects.
New Lord of the Rings game scheduled for 2024
The game, which will depend on Tolkien’s works, is at a very early stage for now. The game, which has not yet been given a clear release date, is expected to be released within the 2024 fiscal year of Take Two. Private Division head Michael Worosz said they were very excited about the project:
“We are proud to have partnered with Weta Workshop to develop a game set in such an extraordinary and beloved universe.”
According to Worosz, it is impossible to find a better partner than Weta Workshop to develop and do justice to a game set in Middle Earth. The genre of the game in question isn’t clear yet, but Weta president Amie Wolken said it’s “an honor to be working on a game set in Middle Earth, especially one that’s different from previous titles.” Wolkien said they can’t wait to show players Middle-earth in a way they’ve never experienced before.
