5 Lord Of The Rings Games Launching In Next 24 Months
Embracer Group, the company that now owns the rights to The Lord of the Rings video games by way of its purchase of Middle-earth Enterprises, has confirmed that a total of five Lord of the Rings video games will be released in the next two years. Later, MuMu Player will bring you with more information.
As part of Embracer's latest earnings briefing, the company said there are five titles in production with third-party partners that will be released in next 24 months. The company did not name these titles outright, but they presumably include The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from Daedalic, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria from Free Range Games, EA's mobile game The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth, and Weta's new title with GTA company Take-Two.
These are the four Lord of the Rings video games in development that we know about. A fifth could be the rumored console port of The Lord of the Rings: Online. Or it could be a a different title that hasn't been announced yet. Embracer's post also stated only that these are new LOTR games in development from third-party developers. Whether or not Embracer has any new LOTR games in development from its network of internal studios is unknown. In any event, it's a good time to be a fan of The Lord of the Rings and video games.
While it remains to be seen what form the unannounced Lord of the Rings will take, many fans may be paying close attention to Daedalic's Gollum. Dubbed a third-person action-adventure RPG, the Gollum-centric game is slated for a 2023 launch. However, it has already been delayed several times since the announcement in 2019 and now fans wonder if Lord of the Rings: Gollum will suffer the same fate as Skull and Bones. Even so, the fact that there are five game projects already underway is a promising sign for many who craved another entry after 2017's Shadow of War.
The first of the group to launch may be LOTR: Gollum, which has been delayed numerous times already, and is now scheduled to launch in April 2023 at the soonest.
But games aren't the only Lord of the Rings property that's on the way. There's also a new anime movie, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, which will feature Miranda Otto reprising her Eowyn character along with the second season of Amazon's Rings of Power series. All in all, it appears fans will be no short of Lord of the Rings content for the next couple of years.
