What’s the new game?
Private Division has not yet revealed which genre the game will belong to. However, one speaks in the announcement that the game is very different from what fans have known before. Middle-earth should also be discovered in a whole new way. All in all one remains very vague. So it’s hard to say if the game will be what Lord of the Rings needs.
Who develops it?
The developing studio promises more than the rough description. Because the new Middle-earth game is being developed by the gaming department of Weta Workshop, who were instrumental in the creation of the Lord of the Rings films and created weapons, armor, creatures and miniatures for the project. So if anyone knows about the most popular adaptation of Tolkien’s books to date, it has to be Weta.
When does it appear?
It really doesn’t have to be that long before it’s released. Because the game should appear in the fiscal year 2024 of the publisher. This puts the release period between April 2023 and March 2024. This means that the game could appear in the same period as the Return to Moria planned for 2023, which Tolkien expert Fabiano ascribes a lot of potential to:
