It has in the past been rumoured that game veterans (of Online fame) are plotting a new game for console platforms, work on the project confirmed by Craig Alexander, speaking in an address at GDC Austin last week.

Work on the and project has reportedly been underway for over a year, while Turbine are even considering a release too.

Turbine have invested a whopping 20 million USD in the unnamed project, which may or may not be linked to the developer's Lord of the Rings license. A release in early 2011 is hoped for.

So confident was the speaker in the merits of the new project that he enthused the new title could over-take rival titles in terms of experience. That's quite a claim, given the distinct lack of MMOs on consoles so far. Thanks VG247.
