No news about a game for consoles and PC
Warner Bros has developed several titles for present and past generation consoles. The same has happened with the PC, where they have produced various titles based on Tolkien’s world. After Lord of the Rings: Northern War, Monolith Productions designed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, the Nemesis system of which was critically applauded and taken over by other video game sagas. However, since then no further project has been revealed. Still, Warner Bros are very zealous for some products that have already leaked, such as the Harry Potter RPG or the new installment of the Batman saga, which has not yet been officially announced.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, on the other hand, is not a project of WB Games. Daedalic Entertainment, creators of Deponia and experts in graphic adventures, are working on it.
