Free Range Games and North Beach Games just released new concept art and screenshots for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria today. This new media drop happened as part of a special Durin's Day livestream. This upcoming title will be "the only survival crafting video game set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth." You know, without much research I'm willing to say that this statement is 100% accurate.
Today's new media includes art and screenshots showing "various concepts, environments, and gameplay."
The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is still on track for a 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, the fantastical world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. 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. Courageous expeditioners will need to be vigilant as mysterious dangers await.
