Amazon Games is developing a multiplayer online game (MMO) that offers players the freedom to explore virtual worlds

Tech giant Amazon has announced its development of an open-world video game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic ‘Lord of the Rings’ saga.

The game will adopt a massively multiplayer online (MMO) format, allowing players to explore virtual worlds and create their own adventures. Amazon Games, which has been making strides in the gaming industry with its own studio, cloud gaming service Luna, and streaming platform Twitch, expressed its enthusiasm for bringing a fresh take on the beloved franchise.

The company is collaborating with Embracer Group, the holder of video game rights for Tolkien's works, to ensure the game does justice to the vast Middle-earth universe. While specific details such as the title and release date have not been disclosed, Amazon's venture into the ‘Lord of the Rings’ video game realm aligns with its significant investment in the franchise's TV adaptation on Amazon Prime Video.

With the success of their previous open-world game ‘New World’, Amazon aims to captivate players with this highly anticipated project.
