Per <A href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/news_story.php(que)id=94267">this news item</a>, <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/">C&VG</a> is reporting that <A href="http://www.feverpitchstudios.com/">Warthog Texas</a> is working on a new CRPG based on the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> novels. Here's the juice:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>We can reveal that the Warthog Texas - formerly Fever Pitch Studios - is working on a PC RPG for Vivendi Universal Games, believed to be known as 'Shadows of Mordor.' Rumours linking Warthog and Lord of the Rings have been rife of late, with a UK financial publication suggesting that Warthog Texas was working with EA on a title.
<br>
<br>
But we can confirm that Warthog's title is not the widely rumoured LOTR Trilogy game for EA, but instead a brand new RPG for Vivendi, the holder of rights to Tolkien's fiction.
<br>
<br>
One highly placed source, speaking to us anonymously, said: "The rumours about Warthog doing a Lord of the Rings title for EA aren't true - but there's one coming for Vivendi..."</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
Wonder if our good buddy <b>Fallout's Chris Taylor</b> is working on this one.
