The OP included "tie-ins" and games "based on" movies rather than just direct adaptions. Most such games take huge liberties or tell stories that diverge quite dramatically from the source material anyway. |
It doesn't tie-in to any movies. It simply happens in-between The Hobbit and TLOTR stories, in-order to tell stories that won't affect any of them.
The movies may have inspired the looks of the creatures and whatnot, but calling this a tie-in or being based on any of the movies is quite a stretch.
