According to Insider Gaming, some of these discarded projects included a Legacy of Kain soft-reboot scrapped in 2022, as well as a Lord of the Rings game. This latter project has been described as a game with card-based mechanics and a "Telltale" story spin on it. It is also said that, apparently, development on this game didn't go very far before being scrapped. Aside from this description, we haven't gotten a lot of details about this project, which is understandable given the state of development. However, fans of the Tolkien epic will be glad to know that we've gotten our hands on a few images that show a conceptual glimpse into what was being worked on before its cancellation.

The illustrations come from the portfolio of a former Eidos-Montréal artist. In them, we see a variety of different locations inside the world of Middle-earth from a top-down view, which seems to be the way the game would have been played.

There is also a recurring mention in the filenames of what might be the main setting: Umbar, a location described in the books as a major port city on the coast of Gondor, primarily inhabited by pirates. This matches what's seen here...
