Private Division has announced that it will be publishing a game set in J.R.R Tolkien’s Middle-earth universe developed by the Weta Workshop, a company best known for their VFX and prop work in the cinematic adaptations of both the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Middle-earth Enterprises has licensed the “literary works of the series” to the developer to work from and interpret in this upcoming game. “The Lord of the Rings IP is home to so many remarkable stories, and no entity is better equipped than the team at Weta Workshop to create a distinctive, new Middle-earth gaming experience,” reads a statement from Private Division on the partnership.
