On the verge of the first television series based on a Free League property (Tales From The Loop), it’s clear this tabletop maker is playing with the big boys now — and to prove it, the company just made a major power move by securing the publishing rights to J.R.R. Tolkien’s timeless world.
A new book for J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy saga, The Lord of the Rings, will be published next spring. Per the official Tolkien online book shop, Harper Collins is going to publish a new 304-page book that was actually written by the late J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The book is called Beren and Lúthien and tells the tale of those two characters that was referenced in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and by Aragorn in the extended version of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring live-action film.
Warner Bros. has revealed that the upcoming Lord of the Rings game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, will come with a season pass that will make extra content available to users. The pass will be available from launch and will grant immediate access to the exclusive mission ‘Guardians of the Flaming Eye’.
