New Lord Of The Rings Game Aiming To Compete With Hogwarts Legacy, Apparently

Here is a 181-word summary of the news article: A new Lord of the Rings game is in development, reportedly funded in part by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) to the tune of around $100 million. The unannounced and untitled game is said to be a third-person action title designed to "compete with Hogwarts Legacy." The game is being developed by Revenge and is being published by Embracer, which owns the rights to Lord of the Rings games. Neither Embracer nor Revenge provided comments when approached about the project. While details on the new game are scarce, the article notes that recent Lord of the Rings games have not fared well, with The Lord of the Rings: Gollum having a troubled launch and Tales of the Shire receiving mixed reviews. However, Embracer has previously expressed interest in a "renaissance" for Lord of the Rings games and is also working with Amazon Games on a new Middle-earth MMO. The article also mentions upcoming Lord of the Rings films, including The Hunt for Gollum, which will be directed by Andy Serkis, the actor who played Gollum in the original films.
