Has the upcoming Rings of Power series got you eager to dive back into Tolkien’s world? Well, picture this: it’s the next big game showcase and the screen suddenly displays a familiar round door nestled into a hill. You are then treated to a trailer for a new Lord of The Rings game made completely in Unreal Engine 5. While that game doesn’t exist, you can check out an amazing concept trailer that will make you wish it did.
YouTube channel Enfant Terrible has uploaded a fan-made concept trailer for a Lord of the Rings game. The trailer uses reels and footage from various artists to bring Middle Earth to life in Unreal Engine 5. Viewers are transported across the fantasy world to iconic locations from the film and book series. From the Tower of Mordor to the Shire, the stunning visuals make you want to grab a controller and dive in.
As the trailer plays out, it is hard not to imagine how epic such a game would be. Tolkien’s world is so expansive and there is so much untapped potential there just waiting to be used in an amazing adventure game. Just imagine traveling through the eerie Fangorn Forest or taking part in the Battle of Helm’s Deep.
Of course, we will get the chance to dive back into the world of hobbits and orcs in the upcoming Lord of the Rings: Gollum, although a release date for that is currently up in the air. If you are desperate for a fantasy fix, there is also the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy game.
