Developer Free Range Games and publisher North Beach Games have shared the first gameplay trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, a new survival crafting game set in the Fourth Age of J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic fantasy world Middle-Earth.
Narrated by John Rhys-Davies, who played Gimli in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the trailer shows a group of Dwarves setting forth into the cavernous Mines of Moria and rekindling its long-cold forges as they venture deeper still into the dangers in the dark.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria takes players beyond the books and into the Fourth Age of Middle-earth, the fantastical world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. 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. 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. Courageous expeditioners will need to be vigilant as mysterious dangers await.
The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria will launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Fall 2023.
