The game does not yet have a release date, but is expected to launch in Take-Two's fiscal year beginning in 2024. "We are thrilled to partner with Weta Workshop to publish a game set in such an extraordinary and celebrated universe," said Michael Worosz, chief strategy officer at Take-Two Interactive, and Head of Private Division. "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." Elsewhere EA is working on a new Lord of the Rings mobile game, while Daedalic Entertainment's Gollum game was delayed by "a few months" beyond its original September release date.
