After Leyou was acquired by Tencent, the Lord of the Rings MMO project was scrapped. We discuss why we think this was and what this means for the future of Amazon’s New World MMO.

—New World Description—
New World is an MMO being developed by Amazon Game Studios and set to release in May of 2021. New World Beta will be in April of 2021, and the New World Alpha is currently ongoing with testers being invited weekly.
Carve your destiny
Fate has summoned you to the shores of Aeternum, the Eternal Isle. Overcome the brutal legions of The Corrupted and draw battle lines with competing players in this land of danger and opportunity. In a land hell-bent on your destruction, what will you do to survive? Strike out alone to forge your own heroic path, or band together, fortify, and fight.
FIGHT THE WORLD
Under the surface of Aeternum’s breathtaking landscape lay the seeds of an ancient evil that plots to erase all traces of humanity from its shores. Warriors of bygone ages, doomed adventurers, and creatures of legend have all succumbed to its corruption. It must be stopped.
A CALL TO ARMS
Combine skill and strength in melee combat, attack at range with precision, or master arcane attacks. However you choose to fight, you’ll need to forge, discover, and customize powerful weapons to fit your combat style. In epic wars with other players or holding back waves of The Corrupted, your combat skills will mean the difference between life and death.
STRONGER TOGETHER
Unite players with in-game social systems that power organization, hierarchy, and command and control of formidable in-game Companies. Venture out with your own intrepid party to battle The Corrupted or to seize the land and treasure of your enemies. A thriving Company consists of master craftsmen, fearless soldiers, guileful traders, and strong leaders. Where do your strengths lie?
TAME THE WILDERNESS
As you explore Aeternum, you will discover beauty, danger, and opportunity at every turn. Bend the wilds to your will by hunting fierce beasts for food and crafting materials and harvesting valuable resources from the land to fuel your ascent to power. Leverage geographic advantages to control rare resources to accelerate the growth of your territory.

Looks Great just saw the website ! Thank You for your hard work !
Remember to hit that subscribe button folks!
Keep up the great work 🙂
You knew once Tencent purchased Leyou that Amazon would have a difficult time working with them. I’m glad Amazon walked away but I would like to see if Amazon could publish/develop a new Lotro MMO on their own. In the short term this will help New World with the addition of new developers this might explain why New World has been able to do so much over the last 8 months. Amazons San Diego office has been in development of a new Sci Fi MMO for several years very little is known about that game other than John Smedley is heading that office he is of the Everquest Planetside fame. Still let’s get New World released in August and that it is a successful as it moves forward. Maybe a New Lotro game down the road. Good stuff guys!

I was really looking forward to the LotR mmo. I'm pretty disappointed. I hope that means they can add more members to the NW team.
I'm still holding out hope that they can eventually start working on it again. The fact that they are still making the television series demonstrates there is a possibility. Maybe…
Website looks amazing. 😁 So yeah I agree that the back burner or cancellation or whatever for LoTR MMO is a good thing for New World. Absolutely cannot wait to dive in. I believe that the population is something that Amazon REALLY REALLY need to prepare for. I'm guessing they won't be ready for the initial flood of players like everyone else that releases a new MMO but IF they are prepared, servers handle it, and release silky smooth, New World will explode like they can't imagine.
Word of mouth travels faster than light on the web and if they are able to release without a hitch. The game will be mega huge. They'll need these displaced devs from the LoTR project to handle the incoming demand.
Also! A huge THANK YOU for Lore Fridays! Look forward to learning more lore and background information!

Tencent is to games what Sauron is to Middle-earth. They are looking for the One Game. "One game to rule them all, One game to find them, One game to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them to infinite micro-transactions."
