Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMO: A New Era for Online Gaming.

The developers of The Lord of the Rings Online have reassured fans that their game is not going away following the announcement of Amazon Games' new Lord of the Rings MMO. LOTRO developer Standing Stone Games said that Middle-earth Enterprises, which controls the rights to the series, continues to be "huge fans" of the game, which is now in its seventeenth year of continuous operation. The new Lord of the Rings game from Amazon won't be here anytime soon, so the game and LOTRO won't be going head-to-head anytime soon.

Amazon announces new Lord of the Rings MMO after first attempt's success

Amazon Games is partnering with Middle-earth Enterprises, now owned by Embracer Group, to create a new MMO based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The project was initially cancelled due to complications with the previous developer's acquisition by Tencent. Amazon Games Orange County will lead development, drawing on lessons from their debut title, New World. The game will focus on stories and characters from both books, and Amazon aims to make it the largest MMO out there. The company is not in a rush to release the game and is focused on creating a great game that will last for over a decade.
