Reason for Lord of the Rings MMO Cancellation Revealed by Amazon
Amazon reveals the reason why it canceled a Lord of the Rings MMO last year, stating that Tencent purchasing the planned developer led to serious complications. Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMO was announced in 2019 and, originally planned to be a free-to-play title, it would have allowed players to roam the lands of Middle-earth before any of the events featured in Tolkien's novels. From a lot of the early discussions surrounding the game, it seemed promising, but nothing concrete was ever revealed.
