The Lord of the Rings: Gollum<\/a><\/strong> is fast approaching, but the big news comes away from that game as Amazon Games have confirmed they are in development of a new The Lord of the Rings game \u2013 and this one will be a AAA open-world multiplayer affair that whisks us off to Middle-earth. <\/p>\n

Thanks to an agreement between Amazon Games and Embracer Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Middle-earth Enterprises<\/a><\/strong>, part of the operative group Freemode, comes a new massively multiplayer online (MMO) game based on The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.<\/p>\n

Set in a persistent world in Middle-earth, the game will be found featuring the beloved stories of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings literary trilogy. The game is in early stages of production, with Amazon Games Orange County \u2013 those behind the creation of the popular open-world MMO game New World<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 leading development.<\/p>\n

Expect Amazon Games to publish the game globally for PC and consoles and whilst no further details are known, additional details, including launch timing, will be shared at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re committed to bringing players high-quality games, whether through original IPs or long-beloved ones like The Lord of the Rings,\u201d said Christoph Hartmann, VP, Amazon Games. \u201cBringing players a fresh take on The Lord of the Rings has long been an aspiration for our team, and we\u2019re honored and grateful that Middle-earth Enterprises is entrusting us with this iconic world. We\u2019re also pleased to be expanding our relationship with Embracer Group following our Tomb Raider deal last year, as they\u2019ve proven to be excellent collaborators.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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\u201d, said Lee Guinchard, CEO of Freemode. \u201cWe 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\u2019re taking every care to deliver an MMO which will do justice to the expansive Middle-earth universe and delight players around the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll keep you in the loop in regards the newly announced, as-yet-untitled, The Lord of the Rings game. <\/p>\n
