An often asked question regarding lotro is. But what about that amazon lotr mmo? Most would assume that a game in whatever state of form it will launch is still a long time away. They were correct.
Short history
Athlon Games is the developer of the mmo. This new game developer is part of Leyou publisher. This company cooperates with Amazon in developing the mmo. Leyou recently got acquired by Tencent from where the original 2019 game license agreement was released. Which also hold some spicy 12-20% royalties and third party (Amazon) revenue limits
Dates
From a related dutch news article and the agreement itself it can be seen that June 2021 a working game prototype needs to be ready with a closed beta in septembre 2022. A Open beta 4 months later. An exact PC launch date isn’t added, but both the Xbox and PS4 version need to be running within 12 months. Making the game expected launch date (as agreed/expected in 2019) somewhere between March 2023 and December 2023
There is more to find in the agreement, but a lot of it is technical and legal mumbo jumbo.
