The U.S. magazine Variety reports that with the expiration of the license from Electronic Arts to create games based on licensed The Lord of the Rings, is preparing to start building the next games in-house, through its division strengthened Games Warner Interactive.

EA license, a product of the same treatment to New Line Cinema (now a subsidiary of Warner Bros.) won last year, so now Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will take the reins, having decided not to transfer the license, despite the fact that games from Electronic Arts have not been ill but on the contrary, with the exception of regular bad happening to The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. In this way, all the dividends generated by the games is Warner.

The new force of Warner in the game industry comes from the acquisition of talented studios like Snowblind Studios (Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance) and Monolith Productions (FEAR).
Meanwhile, Warner has a close relationship with Turbine and the game The Lord of the Rings Online, has reached an agreement to distribute the Mines of Moria expansion.

We then waited, anxiously, to the new company holds the license and get a title does not exceed the job so well managed by Electronic Arts. It will not be easy but if one thing has shown us the world of electronic entertainment that is full of surprises A Lord of the Rings for Wii perhaps? Only time will tell.
