During Gamescom we have seen a lot of presentations, and one of the ones we could have expected the most was the new game from Sir of the rings, And if you have followed the steps of Amazon Games, You will know that the company was developing a MMO with this theme. As previously indicated, the project was progressing well, with possibilities of having a relatively early launch window, but now, Christoph Hartmann has assured that “it is still early.”
Creating a massive online multiplayer is a complicated thing, and in most cases we can find games that seek to offer a completely renewed experience to what is currently available with a theme that attracts a lot of attention. In this case, the new MMO of the Sir of the rings It primarily seeks to allow users the ability to delve into the world of Middle Earth, something that if it goes wrong, could become a big problem for Amazon Games, So it is normal that the company is doing everything possible to make it perfect.
A new Lord of the Rings MMO is still a long way off
If you’re familiar with this genre of games, then you’ll know that there’s already a game that represents this genre, and it usually has enough players to still be a relevant title 17 years later. But the story potential of this world is big enough for several titles of this type to exist, and if we don’t count some disasters like Gollum, many of the games in this series turn out to be true gems that a lot of people remember.
For some time now, we have known that the new proposal of Amazon Games The idea was to offer a game based on the story of Middle Earth, a new massive online multiplayer, which seems to be the specialty of this company considering that the latest titles that have been added to its lists are New World, Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty. But as we have indicated before, during Gamescom what we expected to be the announcement of the new Lord of the Rings game ended up being the presentation of King of Meat, a cooperative title and a very different proposal to those that this company has offered before.
Now, after having seen the biggest video game event of the year, we know that the company has no plans to launch the new MMO that we have mentioned, and its vice president has indicated in an interview that it is still too early to launch it, since it is in the early stages of development.
“We’re still trying to find the hook, the idea of what it is, because we don’t want to repeat the same thing.”
In this case, we know that the company does not want to let this new title become a game that is forgotten after a few months, since it is too important to get it right from the start, whether in mechanics, graphics or performance, taking into account the story on which it is based, which can attract a large number of users, but which in turn can practically sink the reputation of Amazon Games if it goes wrong.
