A New Lord Of The Rings Game Is Coming From A Partnership Between Private Division And Wētā Workshop

From VFX to video games

Private Division has announced that it will be publishing a game set in the Lord of the Rings universe, developed by Wētā Workshop.

Wētā Workshop is the company best known for its VFX and prop work on Peter Jackson’s the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, but an interactive game division was formed under the company back in 2014.

Very little is known about the project at this point, but the announcement does state that the game is “expected to launch during Take-Two’s Fiscal Year 2024.”

The announcement on the Private Division website included a statement from Michael Worosz, Chief Strategy Officer, Take-Two Interactive, and Head of Private Division, where he said “We are thrilled to partner with Wētā Workshop to publish a game set in such an extraordinary and celebrated universe. The Lord of the Rings IP is home to so many remarkable stories, and no entity is better equipped than the team at Wētā Workshop to create a distinctive, new Middle-earth gaming experience.”

Within the same release, Amie Wolken, Head of Interactive at Wētā Workshop said “It’s a privilege to create a new game set in Middle-earth, especially one that’s so different from what fans have played previously. As fans ourselves, we’re excited for gamers to explore Middle-earth in a way they never have before, and introduce new fans to the magic of The Lord of the Rings.”
