That’s according to Amazon Games vice president Christoph Hartmann, in a new interview withGamesindustry.biz.
It’s just a completely different world."
Hartmann has said Amazon’s goal is to make its LOTR MMO, which will be based on J.R.R.
Amazon originally announced a LOTR MMO in 2019 and sought to work with Chinese company Leyou on the property.
Theproject fell through in 2021due to Leyou being acquired by Tencent.
The rights later reverted back toMiddle-Earth Enterprises, which was acquired by Embracer Group last year.
Amazon’s new MMO won’t be coming anytime soon.
The game is currently in early stages of production, with the team currently prototyping ideas.
Amazon’sNew World was criticized for its various bugs and technical issues when it launched.
“We’re not going to ship something which is not ready,” Hartmann said.
Meanwhile, the free-to-play LOTRO is still receiving new content.
