New Co-op survival game The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Announced for PC

During the Epic Games Store Summer Showcase, publisher North Beach Games and developer Free Range Games announced a new co-op survival game based in The Lord of the Ring series, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. The game will launch in spring 2023 for PC via the Epic Games Store. Players will join forces and explore the procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria and will have to survive, craft, build and explore the sprawling mines.

The game’s description, via the publisher, can be seen below:

The story of The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria takes players beyond the books and into the Fourth Age of Middle-earth, the fantastical world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer, players take control of a company of Dwarves tasked to reclaim the lost spoils from the Dwarven homeland of Moria—known as Khazad-dûm or Dwarrowdelf—in the depths below their very feet. Their quest will require fortitude, delving deep into the Mines of Moria to recover its treasures. Players will join forces to survive, craft, build and explore the iconic, sprawling mines. Courageous expeditioners will need to be vigilant as mysterious dangers await.

The game offers endless experiences by featuring a procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria, so no two adventures will be alike, and every expedition is traversable either solo or online with companions. Players can mine to craft greater gear and resources, but beware, mining makes noise, and noise created in the quiet deep threatens to awaken the dangers below: where there’s clatter, there’s combat. Excavate the mysteries of three legendary mountains, extract precious metals, scrape to survive, and battle unspeakable forces to learn the secret of the Shadow that lurks within.
