Unfortunately, this isn't guaranteed. At the moment, Daedalic hasn't confirmed any plans just yet but we will update if and when it does. Given the most recent footage from the game was released as recently as March , it's possible we could have to wait a little longer for more.
Bloomberg reports that the Lord of the Rings MMO's cancellation is due to "a dispute between Amazon and Tencent", with the latter publisher having acquired one of Amazon's other development partners on the game — Leyou Technologies Holdings Ltd. Contract negotiations fells through, and the fallout seems sensitive enough that the publication's sources asked not to be named. Amazon has, however, confirmed that it is "unable to secure terms to proceed with this title at this time," and that the organization is "disappointed that we won't be bringing this game to customers.
Fortunately, for Lord of the Rings fans, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is still in development and expected sometime in One reason players may want to pick up the PS5 version of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the inclusion of features made possible by its DualSense controller. The more Gollum tires himself out by running, the more resistance will be applied to the triggers, indicating that the creature is getting tired.
Another possibility is that we might have to contend with increased resistance on the triggers to maintain extended bouts of speed.
This inclusion points to what kind of set pieces we might see during the game, too. There may be sequences where the player is being chased as part of the story, with no alternative recourse. In this case, haptic feedback on the DualSense could add another layer of challenge as players fight to keep Gollum on the move. Daedalic has confirmed that current-gen versions of The Lord of the Rings Gollum will put ray-tracing front and center as a graphical feature.
An example was attributed to how ray-traced lighting can both help and hinder the player in their stealthy endeavors. If this is indeed the case, we can see The Lord of the Rings Gollum turning into a unique and challenging stealth-based game which could pave the way for how other developers look at how to best utilize ray-tracing in gameplay-oriented ways.
A certain long-dormant stealth action franchise comes to mind. It sets the foundation for some memorable and immersive gaming experiences. Keep in mind - this list will pool multiplatform releases together and showcase the highest or most common score among the multiple releases.
If one version has a drastically higher score than other console versions, the entry header will specify which console has the better offering. The explosive launches of the Xbox Series X and PS5 have spurred the imaginations of fans, who long to see Tolkien's majestic worlds truly shine on these high-powered machines.
As such, it seemed appropriate to flesh out this list with some other great LOTR games to try in the meantime. The game plays akin to a virtual game of fantasy chess, as players are tasked with strategically moving units around a grid. Battles are triggered when opposing forces are positioned next to each other.
This one has fallen under the radar for being somewhat slow-paced and rough around the edges. Still, many have regarded it for its rewarding tactical gameplay and the neat ability to play as either the Fellowship or the minions of Sauron. By , the fan buzz surrounding Tolkien's creations had largely shifted to the upcoming Hobbit film, which would release just a year later. Still, that didn't stop WB Interactive and Snowblind Studios from crafting this fun hour action romp.
While the game isn't flawless, War in the North's appeal lies in its simple-yet-satisfying hack 'n' slash combat. With some enjoyable co-op, solid visuals - and the novelty of experiencing a brand new story set in Middle-Earth, this lesser-known LOTR title is worth a look. Middle-Earth-mania was still in full force by , coming off the heels of the epic conclusion in the film trilogy, The Return of the King.
The game more-or-less follows the beats of Peter Jackson's film trilogy - setting the stage for a thrilling adventure and captivating narrative. Yet the gameplay is similarly appealing, providing a linear role-playing experience with turn-based combat a la Final Fantasy. Over the years, Magic the Gathering has seen a slew of appealing gaming efforts.
Blizzard managed to take this to the next level with Hearthstone , while studio Fantasy Flight Interactive decorated this formula with a fun LOTR overlay. This gripping premise is enhanced with some colorful card pictures and mechanics that balance depth and accessibility.
A deep campaign, addictive gameplay, co-op features, and various customizations give this romp staying power. Though it's been described as being a bit rough around the edges and bordering on repetition, this is a delightful card game that Hearthstone and LOTR fans should enjoy.
Given the constant action and hordes of powerful fighters, a MOBA seems like a natural fit for a Lord of the Rings game. This effort largely proves this notion, with some satisfying battle mechanics and plenty of depth.
