Amazon might have reportedly killed its second attempt at a The Lord of the Rings MMO, but the publisher says it's still "working closely" with Middle-earth Enterprises on other games set in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy universe.
Eurogamer reports that The Lord of the Rings MMO is no longer in development at Amazon Game Studios and the developer behind New World, citing sources familiar with the project, as part of an investigation into the publisher's use of generative-AI in games. RPS reported as much last year, too, though Amazon never actually commented on the news.
