Warner Bros. Games
Warner Bros. Games (formerly known as Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, also known as WB Games) is a world-wide distributor and developer of video games and currently, it is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. In 2009 it entered into a partnership with the Saul Zaentz Company and New Line Cinema (itself now a subsidiary of Warner Bros.) to make video games based on both the The Lord of the Rings books and films and The Hobbit films and book. As a result, it is the current company that has the video game rights for both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and their adaptations.
The Lord of the Rings video games[edit | edit source]
After the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009, Martin Tremblay, President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, said:
The Lord of the Rings franchise is world renowned for its captivating adventures, and we are creating new experiences in the game space designed to appeal to a wide array of consumer tastes from core to casual. The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest is the first of many different types of games we will be developing with the film and literary rights. It is also the first game allowing kids and their families to interact in their favorite locations and stories from The Lord of the Rings with accessible gameplay.[1]
