Tolkien stories have bounced around the video game landscape over the years. Take-Two Interactive previously stated that it was hopeful to have the game ready for the 2024 fiscal year. The most eye-opening part of this story may be the timing, as it comes days after Private Division announced it was collaborating with Weta Workshop to produce an untitled video game based on The Lord of the Rings. Going forward, we also look forward to collaborating with both existing and new external licensees of our increasingly stronger IP portfolio." Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is among the many games based on Tolkien properties currently on the market.
"I am thrilled to see what lies in the future for this IP with Freemode and Asmodee as a start within the group. "I am truly excited to have The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, one of the world’s most epic fantasy franchises join the Embracer family, opening up more transmedia opportunities including synergies across our global group," Embracer Group CEO Lars Wigefors said via press release. On Wednesday, Embracer announced it had struck a deal with the Tolkien Estate and HarperCollins for The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and the rights to other Middle-earth based literary works. The publisher has made a series of acquisitions, including the IP rights to some of late author J.R.R.
Embracer Group has been busy on this Wednesday evening.
