How have I not heard of this before?
It turns out that The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is available on Epic, which indeed is probably why I haven’t heard about it before. ComingSoon calls it a survival game, with limited hosted co-op instead of a full MMORPG. Apparently you get to craft a lot as well as fight orcs, which makes sense.
I still have… questions.
- Are female dwarves available for gameplay?
- Is there a modding community for this game?
- Do I really want to find out if there is a modding community for this game?
- Do I dare see what this hypothetical community might produce?
- Am I a horrible person for making you aware of the terrifying possibilities?
Wait, sorry, I know the answer to that last one already.
You left out the most important question:
Do the devs grok Tolkien?
