It will be some time before we can get a look at what Turbine is cooking up in its dungeons, as the studio noted that details on the company’s console MMOs won’t be revealed until next year.

"I would guess by early next year we’ll be able to be much more specific about what we’re doing with console," said LOTRO executive producer Jeff Steefel. "What we’re doing now is the early development work and the work with the hardware manufacturers to understand where they’re heading in the online space, where the connectivity between the console and internet is really headed."

The company recently opened a new studio to support its development effort. A number of Flagship employees have been picked up.
