It could be true. But I really doubt there's gonna be one.

I don't see a reason why we would?

Disney does not own the Lord of the Rings License and they are the main provider of themes to LEGO besides LEGO's in house ones.

I would love it as well, but I doubt it, plus this probably should have been in the Culture & Multimedia forum

It was probably an April Fools joke, like the LEGO Halo game that was making its rounds last month.

Yeah...

It's a bit like star wars battle from 3, not going to happen

Not really, because BF3, like KOTOR 3 before it, was confirmed to once have been in development and would've been released. This game is very likely not.

Magic 8 ball says: Signs point to "no"

If there was an article, it's probably been taken down.

There isn't one. The company was closed down and the footage was leaked. It looked really good!

I think the company was Free Radical. (Or whoever did the Timesplitters series )

It is only rumour.

I play Lord of the Rings Online.... But that has nothing to do with Lego.

I probably wouldn't buy it, since I'm guessing it would be like the Indy and Star Wars games (Which I found to be no fun at all)

That's funny if it's true... why would there be references (only in decompiled code) to other video games as opposed to game engine pieces?

But let's say it's true; let's say I'm a developer and I know people examine the hex/ascii codes in my game... so I throw a string in there to make people go crazy; funnyString = "LOTR Development"

It gets compiled in with the code. Ha ha...

EDIT: I've been searching around for what contextual meaning LOTR could have besides Lord of the Rings; there is a relatively new game engine technology called "Level of Terrain Rendering." Now, LOD (level of detail) has been used since the dawn of video games (or nearly so) and 3D graphics, but apparently this is some new algorithm for terrain.

Maybe it's Lord of the Rings... I find it hard to believe for many reasons. I would like to see the next castle theme go back to some fantasy elements, including elves, which would help us complete the LOTR theme (even if it's not called that), and I can easily believe we'll see something like that come along, but not the actual LOTR theme. It'd be nice to be wrong (and, of course, The Hobbit is finally in production), but I'm not optimistic.
