The Abu Dhabi Investment Office will invest about $100 million in the game.
According to Insider Gaming sources, a new project in the "Lord of the Rings" universe is in development, in which they are going to invest a lot of money. It is reported that only the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) is going to invest about $100 million in the game. The deal, which started last year, has not yet been signed due to many details, but, according to rumors, it may be officially оформлена already next week. At the moment, the development is funded by internal resources.
Several companies are involved in the development, including Embracer and Revenge. Embracer has owned the rights to the game adaptation of "Lord of the Rings" since 2022, when it acquired them for almost $400 million, and has already licensed the rights to other companies, including the creators of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which drowned in negativity.
