LOTR: The White Council Cancelled, Producer Gray Let Go

by Chris Remo Jan 05, 2007 2:37pm CST tags: Electronic Arts, Lord of the Rings
Last night, we reported on a rumor that EA's announced open-world RPG The Lord of the Rings: The White Council had been cancelled. While Electronic Arts has yet to respond to our inquiries into the matter, we have now received confirmation from a reputable source close to EA that the project has indeed been dissolved. Furthermore, executive producer Steve Gray--whose name was originally attached to the game's working title of Project Gray Company--is apparently no longer with Electronic Arts.

Our source, who requested to remain nameless, indicated that the project's collapse appears to have been in part due to management issues, which resulted in an overall lack of sufficient development progress. The team assigned to the game has been broken up and reassigned to other projects. The Lord of the Rings: The White Council was in production for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

"Funny this was like the only EA game I was lookin forward to. Go EA!"21 Comments

LOTR: The White Council Shall Not be Released?

by Chris Remo Jan 04, 2007 9:52pm CST tags: Electronic Arts, Bethesda, Lord of the Rings
Last July, Electronic Arts revealed The Lord of the Rings: The White Council, an ambitious RPG for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 seemingly similar to the open-world games championed by developers such as Bethesda. Prior to the official unveiling, the game was known as Project Gray Company, after its executive producer Steve Gray. Today, 1UP reported on a rumor given by an unnamed source, indicating that the game has been cancelled. Reasoning behind the alleged cancellation was not given.

Shacknews has contacted EA for comment on the matter but has not yet received an official response.
