‘Lord of the Rings’ Owner Embracer to Separate Into Three Standalone Publicly Listed Entities
By Naman Ramachandran, K.J. Yossman

Quote

“Lord of the Rings” owner Embracer is separating the group into three games and entertainment companies: Asmodee Group, Coffee Stain & Friends and Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends.

Asmodee is a tabletop games publisher and distributor with a studio network and IP catalogue. Coffee Stain & Friends is a gaming entity with a dual focus on indie and A/AA premium and free-to-play games for PC/console and mobile. Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends is known for its AAA game development and publishing for PC and console, as well as managing the “The Lord of the Rings” and “Tomb Raider” IPs. AAA is the term used to classify video games produced or distributed by a major publisher, which usually have higher development and marketing budgets than other tiers of games.

Embracer Group owns Dark Horse Comics [In reply to]	Can't Post

Dark Horse will also fall under the brand Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends. Possibly that puts the company in a better position to produce a Lord of the Rings graphic novel (preferably in three to six volumes). I have some doubts, mainly because I think such an adaptation would still need to be authorized by the Tolkien Estate (unless it was directly adapted from the films and not the book--but who would want that?).
