- The game is in early stages of production, with the Amazon Games Orange County studio—makers of the popular open-world MMO game New World—leading development.
- “We’re committed to bringing players high-quality games, whether through original IPs or long-beloved ones like The Lord of the Rings,” said Christoph Hartmann, VP, Amazon Games.
