Reports of the MMORPG's cancellation come from a social media post by Amazon Games' former senior gameplay engineer Ashleigh Amrine.
The MMO is in early development at Amazon Games Orange County and features the stories of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
The Embracer Group has acquired the cross-media IP rights for The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and other Middle-earth-related works.
