fans of The Lord of the rings are partying due to the premiere of The Rings of Power, a series that brings the franchise back after a long time of absence. And while the reviews are mixed, there are still people who remember another discarded project of the brand, an MMO that was ultimately discarded for no apparent reason, a reason that was an enigma until recently.
Through an interview, Christoph HartmanPresident of Amazon Games Studios, hasn’t shied away from telling GameSpot that development went sideways once Tencent Games took control of Leyou Technologies Holdings Ltd. Ensuring that after this financial movement, everything became much more complicated than imagined.
Here is his statement:
We had a deal with a Hong Kong-based company, Leyou; In my opinion it would have been good to work with them. But then they were sold to Tencent and everything became very complicated. Maybe we could have worked together, but I think we are too big companies to accept a partner role, where they have the IP and we develop.
Despite all this, there are still projects The Lord of the rings standing in the world of video games, specifically we refer to the game of Gollumwhich had a delay for the 2023. For now, no specific release date has been set for it.
Remember that the new series of the saga is available in Amazon Prime Video.
