Fourth Age spelunking
Last year we got word that The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria was in the works, and will deal with events taking place in the Fourth Age of the Lord of the Rings timeline (beyond the events of the core books). That’s a pretty big deal, as that era of the franchise is rarely touched upon, even by Tolkien himself.
Well, we got another look at it today thanks to Summer Game Fest 2023, where it got a quick trailer segment. Even after that bit of footage, I still don’t really have any idea of whether or not this will be good. Hey, even if it’s not up to snuff, it’ll be really hard to top Gollum was the “worst Lord of the Rings game” this year. That’s something to look forward to!
The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria currently has a fall 2023 release window.
