Amazon Reportedly Cancels Lord of the Rings MMO
Amazon's The Lord of the Rings MMO has reportedly been cancelled, according to former senior gameplay engineer at Amazon Games Ashleigh Amrine.
"This morning I was part of the layoffs at Amazon Games, alongside my incredibly talented peers on New World and our fledgling Lord of the Rings game (y'all would have loved it)," said Amrine. "It's always tough to see such a strong team go through something like this. I've been lucky to work with some of the most skilled, creative, and kind developers I've ever met here."
The Lord of the Rings MMO was announced in May 2023 as Amazon Games had signed an agreement with Embracer Group subsidiary Middle-earth Enterprises. The MMO was in development by New World studio Amazon Games Orange County for consoles and PC.
