A new MMO set in the Lord of the Rings universe is apparently no more, after it was cancelled by Amazon over the weekend.
The game was originally announced back in mid-2018 as an “AAA free-to-play” MMO by Leyou Technologies, who teased that they were working with a “mystery partner” which was later revealed to be Amazon Game Studios just under a year later.
“We love the Lord of the Rings IP, and are disappointed that we won’t be bringing this game to customers.”
It’s been the latest setback for Amazon Game Studios, who also shut down Crucible back in October just five months following the game’s soft launch.
