Outlets Report New AAA Lord of the Rings Action Game With Partial Abu Dhabi Funding

The project remains unconfirmed based on unnamed sources.

Overview

  • Insider Gaming reports a third-person action title positioned to compete with Hogwarts Legacy, with multiple gaming outlets echoing the claim.
  • Sources say the Abu Dhabi Investment Office would provide roughly $100 million as partial financing, and the funding agreement is not yet signed.
  • Embracer Group is reported to be involved alongside a studio called Revenge, and both declined to comment on what they called rumor and speculation.
  • Coverage suggests a formal reveal could arrive soon, with some reports indicating as early as next week.
  • The franchised effort follows several poorly received recent releases, heightening interest in a higher‑quality flagship as Embracer also pursues an MMO with Amazon Games.
