    Aren’t the book rights a tangled mess and future productions are only allowed to use things from the trilogy plus appendices? I remember that being the excuse for the show not following the Silmarillion canon, but it’ll suck if there’s this big open-world game but it’s limited to the stuff we’ve seen a hundred times already.

      The show didn’t actually have the rights. If this new game has the proper rights then they won’t have that problem.
