Amazon reportedly cancels Lord of the Rings MMO

SMRTR summary

Amazon has quietly cancelled its Lord of the Rings MMO for the second time, following layoffs last October that hit its Games division hard. The project, led by the studio behind New World, was still in pre-production when cuts occurred. Amazon's head of games won't confirm the cancellation but says a "new game experience" in Tolkien's universe is still being developed.
