The rumor mill is currently churning out word that Monolith is currently working on a game tie-in to Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.
The source is a tweet by @supererogatory, known as an internet source with a history of revealing industry secrets stating:
As to what Monolith/WB Games Seattle is up to now—pretty sure it is a little fantasy action RPG-lite called The Hobbit: Part One.
Considering that WB Seattle has laid off a number of people from its studios as recently as November, including the developer of Lord of the Rings: War in the North Snowblind, only Monolith is left as the main contender in Washington to develop the game.
Personally, though it could be great I'm not so sure I want to see Monolith doing a movie tie-in game. Monolith is a great developer with a rich history, and to see them enter a movie tie-in phase -games that have historically been either just decent or awful- breaks my heart a little. It seems like we'll probably be waiting a good deal longer for any new No One Lives Forever.

A Hobbit movie tie-in doesn't sound exciting. A new Lord of the Rings game set in the universe without the restraints of being a movie tie-in, sounds better. You know what sounds great a new ip or Condemned 3.

I don't have high hopes for this one...

Unfortunately, I think Gotham City Impostors is the closest thing we'll ever get to No One Lives Forever, multiplayer wise.

So fucking bummed EA Redwood Shores (Now Visceral Games), aren't with EA to do more Lord of the Rings games like return of the king.
