Amazon is rumored to have canceled the development of its upcoming Lord of the Rings video game.

While the game had been in development at Amazon Game Studios in partnership with Tencent's Leyou Technologies, it's now been reported that development has been shuttered following a contract dispute between megacorps Amazon and Tencent.

Detailed license documents about the Lord of the Rings MMO leaked online at the end of last year, hinting that "as part of the acquisition of Leyou by Tencent" a bunch of legal documents were released, "including Leyou's original Game License Agreement for the Lord of the Rings game with Middle-earth Enterprises and the co-development and co-operation agreement with Amazon".

The post included the amendment documents and a production schedule detailing the planning of the MMO, with a first draft of the complete game lore and narrative expected to be completed by January 11, 2021. pg slot
