Middle Earth has long held our collective imaginations captive, and in a thrilling announcement, the world is about to delve deeper into the lore we all hold dear - quite literally.
Come this October 24, fans of Tolkien's sprawling Middle-Earth-centric universe will find themselves once again setting foot in the enigmatic Mines of Moria, this time in Free Range Games' brand-new survival crafting game, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.
For those not familiar with the setting, the game plants its roots firmly in the Fourth Age of Middle Earth. The narrative centers on a bold group of Dwarves, determined to reclaim their ancestral home in Moria. An endeavor that demands a healthy mix of Dwarven resilience and resourcefulness as well as ingenuity as players navigate the Mines of Moria in an attempt to chase after its lost treasures and rekindling hopes of restoring this iconic location to its former splendor. And while the game's core is driven by a narrative steeped in tradition, its mechanics promise innovation.
Eager fans can look forward to a robust survival crafting experience. In a world where every stone might hide mithril or a lurking menace, players will customize their very own Dwarf, either embarking on this journey alone or forging ahead with a fellowship of up to eight players on PC. Resource management intertwines with exploration, and as players find themselves deeper into the Mines, they'll face the quintessential challenges of a survival game - hunger, sanity, and the ever-looming shadows that are drawn to noise and chaos.
