There s few massively-multiplayer online (MMO) games that stand a chance of succeeding alongside World of Warcraft and The Elder Scrolls Online, but one carrying
The Lord of the Rings name certainly had a chance. However, Amazon just canceled the game after three years of development.
As Reuters reports, the LotR MMO has been in development as a joint venture between Amazon Game Studios and Chinese video game holding company Leyou Technologies Holdings. In December last year, Tencent acquired Leyou, and that s ultimately what caused development to cease.

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.
