Amazon has canceled its Lord of the Rings MMO. The company's head of gaming, Jeff Gattis, confirmed that the team is now exploring a different Lord of the Rings game. The new project will not be an MMO.
New game aims to honor Tolkien's legacy
Gattis said the creative team is working on a compelling new game experience that does justice to Tolkien's world. Amazon is collaborating closely with Middle-earth Enterprises and remains excited about the IP.
There is speculation that the game in development may be the same one Crystal Dynamics is rumored to be working on. This connection has not been confirmed by Amazon or Crystal Dynamics.
Amazon has not announced a release window or platform for the new Lord of the Rings game. The company has not confirmed details about the game's genre or scope beyond that it is not an MMO.
