Lord of the Rings: The White Council halted by EA |
Ó
Electronic Arts indefinitely suspended the production of The Lord of the Rings: The White Council while they are "looking at the creative positioning and feature set on the Lord of the Rings franchise." Decoded, the statement would probably mean: "We are reviewing the LOTR licenses."EA CFO Warren Jenson reassured an analyst that the game has only been put on hold when asked whether or not the RPG game slated for the PS3, 360 and PC has been cancelled.
Does this confirm the rumors? Unfortunately not anymore solid than the last one. Jenson added, "The Lord of the Rings product is back in development in terms of being on hold." Does that mean it was on hold and now it's back in development? Or it was about to get cancelled and EA decided to resume its production but paused it?
While EA is reviewing the license and what they could do with it (which includes selling it to other publishers) the game's production will be halted for about two more years. Yes, you heard that right the first time: two years. The game will not be coming out during EA's current financial year, which ends March 31, 2008. There is speculation that the game may never see the light of day again.
Oh, woe is the 'morrow of mankind...

There are too many half-assed LOTR games out anyway. My guess is that EA understands this and isn't willing to blow a wad of cash on development on another crap hole title. There are no more LOTR movies coming out and that is partly what drove the popularity of the first few games.
You're right by saying that there are too many half-assed lotr games, but have you checked out The White Council website? The screenshots are incredible and the story sounds amazing! EA PLEASE you can't give up on this game! PLEASE!!!!
