A co-op survival crafting sandbox is coming to Middle-earth. The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a multiplayer survival game set within the 4th age of JRR Tolkien’s Middle-earth, where gamers will workforce up with their fellow dwarves and carve out a brand new empire below the mountains.

“Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer, players take control of a company of Dwarves tasked to reclaim the lost spoils from the Dwarven homeland of Moria—known as Khazad-dûm or Dwarrowdelf—in the depths below their very feet,” reads a press launch from writer North Beach Games. “Their quest will require fortitude, delving deep into the Mines of Moria to recover its treasures. Players will join forces to survive, craft, build and explore the iconic, sprawling mines.”

Deep underground, gamers will band collectively to hunt for assets, construct a subterranean base, and battle orcs, goblins, and much more monstrous foes attracted by the noise of the dwarves’ hamming and chiseling. You’ll must handle your sleep, temperature, and a “dynamic light system” to create secure zones within the darkness of the mines. Restoring and rebuilding historical expertise like forges will give gamers entry to raised gear and equipment.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is coming completely to the Epic Games Store in 2023.
