Data and leak trackers in the MultiVersus community have begun to notice that any mention of The Lord of the Rings content continues to be removed from the game files. Some suspected that this might mean that the content was shelved for now, but now there is speculation that it has been completely removed. Earlier this week, the Embracer Group announced with surprise that it is acquiring the ownership of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit . It was a sudden move and also quite historic considering The Saul Zaentz Company had owned the rights to these franchises since 1976. New Line Cinema, a Warner Bros. company was one of the companies that produced Peter Jackson’s films on The Lord of the Ringsand the WB has released several games based on this property.
It is possible that this new purchase could create problems for Warner Brothers in owning the Lord of the Rings rights. Of course, both sides may come to a new agreement in the future. It is not yet known whether the content of The Lord of the Rings will go to MultiVersus.
