Are you even surprised?
Lord of the Rings will be receiving a Lego-branded video game, as reported by MCV.
The website states that packaging materials found with the new Lord of the Rings Lego sets confirms the project. In addition, Shop To briefly posted a listing of the game before taking it down, but has a Google cache version available. The website had a placeholder box art and an October 2012 release date attached.
The game itself is to be developed by Traveller's Tales, but an official statement on the matter has not been made.
