Pandemic Working on Another Lord of the Rings Game

The EA financial report that revealed BioWare working on another Star Wars: KotOR title also revealed that Pandemic Studios is working on a new Lord of the Rings game. But seriously, guys, no reason to worry if the creativity of these two companies is being strangled. Nothing says “creative” like pumping out yet another film adaptation.

Mega-publisher Electronic Arts is expanding its Sim brand with SimAnimals, and Mercenaries 2 developer Pandemic Studios, which was recently acquired by EA, is working on a new Lord of the Rings video game.

EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed the news in an analyst meeting today, noting that both titles are scheduled to release during EA’s 2009 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009.

No other details, such as platforms or genres, were mentioned in the accompanying slides.
