Amazon had inked a deal to develop the free-to-play console/PC game title with Leyou Technologies, a Hong Kong-based games company. After Chinese media and entertainment conglomerate Tencent Holdings acquired Leyou in December 2020 in a deal worth $1.5 billion, Amazon and Tencent failed to reach a deal on revised contract terms for the “Lord of the Rings” game, as first reported by Bloomberg resulting in Amazon Game Studios bailing on the project.
“We love the ‘Lord of the Rings’ [intellectual property] and are disappointed that we won’t be bringing this game to customers,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. The team that was working on the “LOTR” prequel game will be moved to different projects, according to Amazon.
According to a Bloomberg report, Amazon Game Studios has canceled its Lord of the Rings MMO due to a dispute between Amazon and Tencent. The game was being co-developed with Athlon Games.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the cancellation of the project and stated: “We have been unable to secure terms to proceed with this title at this time. We love the Lord of the Rings IP, and are disappointed that we won’t be bringing this game to customers.”
The project isn’t anything new either. The game was first announced about two and a half years ago in September 2018. The game was set to take place much earlier in the Tolkien universe compared to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was going to show new environments and characters never before seen.
