A new Lord of the Rings game is in the works from Weta Workshop
Weta Workshop, which worked on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, is developing a new video game set in the Middle-earth universe from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books.

This new game joins a few other Lord of the Rings adaptations that are on the way. Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV series is just around the corner, though the new LOTR video game starring Gollum will no longer be launching alongside the show following a recent delay. And EA is developing a free-to-play LOTR mobile game, The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth, which it has begun testing.
