Amazon Games and Embracer Group’s Middle-earth Enterprises Strike Deal for New The Lord of the Rings Game


Amazon Games, the studio that brought us New World not too long ago, and Embracer Group have officially announced they are collaborating to work on an MMO based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings universe. The game is set to be a large-scale online adventure based in Middle-earth, though no further details were shared about the time frame exactly. 


“We’re committed to bringing players high-quality games, whether through original IPs or long-beloved ones like The Lord of the Rings. Bringing players a fresh take on The Lord of the Rings has long been an aspiration for our team, and we’re honored and grateful that Middle-earth Enterprises is entrusting us with this iconic world. We’re also pleased to be expanding our relationship with Embracer Group following our Tomb Raider deal last year, as they’ve proven to be excellent collaborators,” said Christoph Hartmann, Vice President of Amazon Games. 


“The world of Middle-earth continues to prove an endlessly fertile ground for creators, and Amazon Games has a passion for building immersive, compelling worlds and publishing games for a global audience. We have the clear ambition to create the highest-quality entertainment products for this IP, whether we utilize internal resources or team up with the best industry partners that complement our capabilities. We’re taking every care to deliver an MMO which will do justice to the expansive Middle-earth universe and delight players around the world," said Lee Guinchard, CEO of Freemode, the operative group that owns Middle-earth Enterprises.


As of this announcement, a title, potential date, or much else was revealed. Until then, we have other Middle-earth content to look forward to such as The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which puts players in the shoes of the former Hobbit, Gollum. You can check out our breakdown regarding everything we know about the game so far.
