It's possible that any potential MultiVersus Lord of the Rings content has been scrapped, following the news that Embracer Group has acquired the IP rights to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Numerous previous leaks have suggested that Gandalf would at some point be joining the free-to-play platform fighter, including in the initial leak that occurred before the game was revealed. Now, MultiVersus leak account multiversusie claims that the Lord of the Rings content might have been cut, as numerous references to the series have been removed from the games files.

Multiversusie noted that they can't find the Eye of Sauron trophy, Barra-dur has been removed from the background of Trophy's Edge, and the Mordor and Hobbiton soundtracks have been removed from the files.
