Almost a decade later, there's something inherently fun about riding a goat through the Shire and slapping hobbits with Sam's frying pan. Even now, after various games like Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Shadow of Mordor, LEGO Lord of the Rings arguably offers the best version of Tolkien's fantasy world.
The open-world exploration that's present in LEGO Lord of the Rings also allows players to explore Peter Jackson's version of Middle-earth in a leisurely but surprisingly accurate way. A new LEGO Lord of the Rings game could add these kinds of options and quality-of-life improvements as well. This is perhaps why LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga is fixing this issue, by adding in an optional "Mumble Mode" that harkens back to a time before the games' characters repeated lines from the movies. However, not all players have been a fan of the films' voiceovers replacing the more classic mumbling and cartoonish grunts seen in older LEGO games. In 2012, when LEGO Lord of the Rings was first released, it was the second LEGO game ever to feature full-on voice acting (after LEGO Batman 2, which came out earlier that same year). Much like how Skywalker Saga covers the nine mainline Star Wars films, a new LEGO Lord of the Rings could - and should - cover all six of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth movies. It would provide some much-needed resolution with Battle of the Five Armies content while also getting improvements on mechanics, levels, and characters seen in previous games.

When the LEGO LotR games reappeared on Steam without warning, it just added to the confusion.
clarified that there were no plans to release a game - or even DLC - for Five Armies. After both LEGO Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were removed from digital storefronts, there was speculation of license disagreements. For whatever reason, no LEGO version for The Battle of the Five Armies was ever released.
