Amazon Games Evaluates New Lord of the Rings Concepts After Canceling 1 MMO

3 articles · Updated · Kotaku · Jun 4

Jeff Gattis said Amazon Games is reviewing new Lord of the Rings game ideas and recently examined a prototype, though he gave no firm plan or genre for the project.
The disclosure indicates Amazon is still pursuing Tolkien-based titles even after its previously announced Lord of the Rings MMO was canceled.
Gattis described the effort as an early-stage concept review rather than an active game announcement, leaving timing, platform and development scope unclear.
The move keeps Amazon in a crowded Middle-earth licensing race, with major entertainment groups still seeking new ways to turn the franchise into games and other adaptations.
