This deal has yet to close, and is currently being funded internally, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Embracer Group controls the IP in the video game space, and a game studio named Revenge is apparently involved in the development, among others. Embracer and Revenge declined to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The Lord of the Rings has a patchy history in games, so it&#8217;ll be interesting to see whether this alleged title can win back fans.<\/p>\n<p>While we have to treat this as a rumour for now, a new game in the franchise is hardly a far-fetched idea; we imagine we&#8217;ll see it in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to see The Lord of the Rings return to third-person action?
