The open-world role-playing game, which had been unveiled last summer, was slated for a holiday 2007 release on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. It was to be the latest game from Electronic Arts based on Peter Jackson&#8217;s Lord of the Rings film trilogy, which was inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s best-selling fantasy novels. Today, during a postearnings call, EA CFO Warren Jenson confirmed that The White Council is not canceled&#8211;but that work on it has been indefinitely suspended. &#8220;The Lord of the Rings product is back in development in terms of being on hold,&#8221; he cryptically told an analyst who asked whether or not the game had been canceled outright.
