Weta Workshop is developing a new game based on Middle-Earth and the literary works of J. R. R. Tolkien, with Take-Two label Private Division handling publishing duties.
Weta is best known for its special effects work on films such as Dune and Avatar, as well as the acclaimed Lord of the Rings trilogy. In 2014, it created a games development division and is now working on its first major title.
No details have been given, other than that the title will be set in the Middle-Earth universe and that the licensor responsible for handling rights around Tolkien's literary works has granted Weta "the broadest creative licence to interpret the underling lore of the books."
