Interesting expression. LOTR IP material has indeed been utilized in many ways. Under Embracer’s ownership, one of the worst games of all time, Gollum - Metacritic 33/100, has been released. A terrible animated film LOTR War of the Rohirrim and Amazon’s absolutely awful creation The Rings of Power TV series. In addition to these, an attempt was made to develop an MMO game, which Amazon just scrapped.
When also considering that the LOTR IP will enter the public domain in 2042, the IP does not have much value, and Warner still holds the most important and significant right, namely the licensing rights for films. Embracer also does not own the rights to the books; they are still with the Tolkien family.

Embracer is apparently bringing Carmageddon back. THQ Nordic owns the IP, and the game is being developed by Embracer-owned 34BigThings. ███████████: Rogue Shift Steamissä
