The recent Amazon layoffs heavily affected its gaming division, and now a former developer's LinkedIn post implies that the Lord of the Rings MMO in development has no one working on it and is likely cancelled.
The wording on the now-unavailable post by a former senior gameplay engineer doesn't explicitly confirm cancellation, and Amazon hasn't formally announced it—unlike how they announced New World will no longer receive updates. However, it's understood that everyone, or at least most people working on the LOTR game, is no longer at Amazon due to being included in the 14,000 cuts announced last Tuesday.
