The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria dated for Steam and Xbox Series X/S

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is making the jump to new platforms this month.

The survival crafting game, which is set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth, will hit Steam and Xbox Series X/S on August 27, at a discounted price of $19.99 for a limited time.

Developed by indie studio Free Range Games and published by North Beach Games, Return to Moria was originally released for PC via the Epic Games Store in October 2023, before hitting PS5 last December.

The game’s Steam and Xbox Series X/S release will be accompanied by the launch of The Golden Update, which will introduce cross-play between all platforms and a new Sandbox mode, among other features.

“The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria follows the Dwarves as they embark on a new adventure to reclaim their legendary home of Moria beneath the Misty Mountains,” reads an official description of the game.

“Set in a procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria, no two adventures will be alike, and every expedition is traversable either solo or co-op online with companions.

“Players can mine to craft greater gear and resources, but beware mining makes noise, and noise created in the quiet deep threatens to awaken the dangers below: where there’s clatter, there’s combat.

“Excavate the mysteries of legendary mountains, extract precious metals, scrape to survive, and battle unspeakable forces to learn the secret of the Shadow that lurks within.”
