Looks like EA is trying to squeeze every game they can out of their LOTR license.

Lord of The Rings (the game) executive producer Steve Gray announced the news during his presentation at the Movies And Games Summit. EA Los Angeles is working on the new game, still based on Peter Jackson’s movie trilogy.

While he stumbled on his team’s ability to live up to Tolkien’s compelling storytelling, Gray suggested that their new project was “trying to do so in a less linear way.”

Gray hinted that the new project was a “story construction kit”.”

Story construction kit, eh? That I gotta see. Also, let’s not forget that Steve Gray is also acting as executive producer on a next-gen RPG codenamed Project Gray Company, which at this point I incline to believe is the exact same game, given its Tolkienish looking artworks. Time will tell
