Amazon, which recently appeared with the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power series, which did not receive good reviews, has news that will excite the fans of the series. The company announced today that it is working on a new Lord of the Rings game.
Amazon stated that it has partnered with the Embracer Group, which holds the rights to the series for the game. According to the statements, the production will be an open world MMO (massive multiplayer online game) genre game set in Middle Earth.
The release date of the game, which will come to PC and consoles, is not yet known.
The new Lord of the Rings game will be developed by Amazon Games Orange County. This studio also appeared with the open world MMO game “New World”, which was released in 2021. It should be noted that the new game is still in its early stages. The company did not share details such as the name and release date, but stated that the game will come to both PC and consoles.
This isn’t the first time the new Lord of the Rings game move has come from Amazon. The US technology giant announced that it will release a game inspired by the series in 2019. However, this game was canceled two years later.
The company also appeared with the Rings of Power series with a huge budget of 465 million dollars. The first season of the series, which was published in September 2022, was not liked by the fans, but managed to get approval for the second season. According to Amazon, the new game will have nothing to do with the series.
It should be noted that the number of Lord of the Rings games has increased recently. Gollum game will be released in the coming days. On the other hand, Electronic Arts released a mobile game a few days ago, based on the series called Heroes of Middle-earth, which it announced last year. In addition, Weta Workshop, responsible for the visual effects of the films, was developing a game set in the LOTR universe.
