Will There be a New Lord of the Rings Game?
Yes, a new Lord of the Rings game is in development. It will be a third-person action game. There is also a cozy Hobbit-themed game coming soon.
LOTR Universe has posted on X that a new Lord of the Rings video game is in development!
A major new Lord of the Rings video game is confirmed. This project is getting funded by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. Reports mention about $100 million for development. The publisher Embracer Group holds the rights. The developer Revenge is involved. The official announcement could happen soon.
This game is being designed to compete with Hogwarts Legacy. It aims for a large world and high production value. Right now, the details are secret but people connected to the project expect a big AAA release. The game is expected to focus on action and adventure with modern graphics.
Hobbit Life Sim — Tales of the Shire
Tales of the Shire is a different Lord of the Rings game arriving soon. It’s set for release on July 29, 2025. This game lets players live as Hobbits in the Shire. You can create your own character, decorate a home, cook food, and interact with other Hobbits. It’s cozy and slow-paced, focused on relaxation and village life. It will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Netflix Games.
What to Expect?
Both games offer very different experiences. The third-person action game will have large-scale adventure and combat. It targets fans who want a story-driven, epic journey in Middle-earth. The Hobbit sim goes for simple living and comfort, like Stardew Valley but set in Tolkien’s world.
Recent Releases
Recent Lord of the Rings games include Return to Moria and Gollum. Reception for these games was mixed. This new big game is aiming much higher. The hope is to capture the magic of Middle-earth for fans and new players alike.
So, yes, a new Lord of the Rings action game is coming. Tales of the Shire also launches next year for people who want a lighter Hobbit story.
