Amazon Games to Launch New Lord of the Rings MMO with New World Developers.

The game will be published globally for PC and consoles, with a release date to be announced later. Amazon Games Orange County is leading the development after striking a deal with Middle-earth Enterprises. This is Amazon Games' latest move in game publishing and development, following the success of its internally developed MMO New World and action RPG Lost Ark from Smilegate RPG.
