The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria will be available exclusively on PC via the Epic Games Store when it launches in Spring 2023. Unveiled in the Epic Games Summer Showcase during Summer Game Fest, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria follows the Dwarves of Middle-earth as they embark on an original adventure to reclaim and restore their Dwarven homeland of Moria. At the very least, it’ll be a curio for fans (and hopefully better than The Lord of the Rings: Gollum).Independent developer Free Range Games and publisher North Beach Games today revealed 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.
It’s also set later in The Lord of the Rings canon than most other material, taking place in the Fourth Age following the destruction of the One Ring. Beyond that, you can expect to craft all manner of gear and uncover magical artifacts to help you survive. The game also has survival elements, so you’ll be balancing food, sleep, temperature, and - in a novel twist - noise levels, lest you risk waking the nightmares of the deeps. The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is designed for co-op gameplay (though you can also play solo), where you’ll create a custom dwarf and set off to reclaim the mines, which will be procedurally generated for each run. By the looks of the Return to Moria gameplay trailer, those threats will include the ever-present orcs, as well as giant spiders, cave trolls, and the Watcher in the Water.
It looks like you’ll be able to build a whole host of structures and rooms, including defensive towers and mead halls, all the while chasing off the threats that have invaded the mines. Narrated by Gimli himself, John Rhys-Davies, the trailer shows off how you and your merry band of dwarves will be able to explore, build, and defend the mines of Moria. The game still has a vague fall 2023 release window, though we’ve today learned that it will be available on Xbox and PlayStation platforms in addition to the previously announced PC (via Epic Games Store). Following its announcement earlier this year, a first-look gameplay trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria dropped during Summer Game Fest today.
