Recently, foreign media Insider Gaming reported that a brand new "Lord of the Rings" game has been in development for some time.The new work has received part of the funding support from ADIO (UAE Abu Dhabi Investment Office), which is about US$100 million (approximately RMB 712 million).

The deal has entered the preparatory stage since last year. Although it has not been officially signed due to the interests of multiple parties, it is reported that an official agreement will be reached "soon" and may be settled as early as next week.Currently, the game development funds mainly come from internal support.

There are not many details about the specific content of the new game "The Lord of the Rings".However, it can be revealed that the game is a third-person action game, and its design goal is to "compete with "The Legacy of Hogwarts".

In addition to ADIO, several companies have also participated in the project, including Embracer Group, Revenge and other studios.Since Embracer acquired the adaptation rights of the Lord of the Rings for nearly US$400 million in 2022, it has licensed the IP to several companies to develop games, including the bad reputation of "The Lord of the Rings: Guru".
