Independent developer Free Range Games and publisher North Beach Games have released new concept art and early screenshots for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, the only survival crafting video game set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth™, the iconic fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Revealed during the The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Durin’s Day Roundtable, hosted by Nerd of the Rings, the recently unearthed art and screenshots show a first look at various concepts, environments and gameplay as development forges ahead towards the game’s 2023 release on PC via the Epic Games Store.
The story of The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria takes players beyond the books and into the Fourth Age of Middle-earth. Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer, players take control of a company of Dwarves tasked to reclaim the lost spoils from the Dwarven homeland of Moria—known as Khazad-dûm or Dwarrowdelf—in the depths below their very feet. Their quest will require fortitude, delving deep into the Mines of Moria to recover its treasures. Players will join forces to survive, craft, build and explore the iconic, sprawling mines.
Currently in development, more game news and announcements will be shared in the coming months.
