One Ring to Rule Them All Many of you have been wondering what WXP has been up to recently, and I'm finally able to fill you in: Vivendi Universal Publishing (the parent company of WXP's publisher, Sierra) announced today that they've signed an eight year license agreement with Tolkien Enterprises to create multiple games based on The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The first game as part of this agreement will be The Fellowship of the Ring, an action/adventure title developed by WXP and scheduled for release in early 2002. All of us at WXP are very excited to be working with Sierra, and together we’ve already come a long way in the development of The Fellowship of the Ring. We’re confident the game will truly immerse gamers in the world of Middle Earth. Be sure to join the discussion on WXP's message board, and stay tuned for more info about the development of Fellowship of the Ring!
