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, and significant funds are planned to be invested in it. It is reported that the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) alone intends to invest around $100 million in the game. The deal, which began last year, has not yet been signed due to numerous details, but rumors suggest it could be officially finalized as early as next week. Currently, development is funded from 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 nearly $400 million, and has already licensed the rights to other companies, including the creators of the negatively received The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.
