Amazon shelves the Lord of the Rings MMO, eyes a new Middle-earth game experience

Amazon reportedly canceled its long-running Lord of the Rings MMO, while saying it’s still exploring a new game experience in Middle-earth. The project, announced in 2019, was scrapped in 2021, briefly revived in 2023, but mass layoffs last year suggest it’s dead; Amazon insists it remains committed to the IP and is pursuing a different concept, with rumors of ties to Rings of Power and potential involvement from studios like Crystal Dynamics or Warhorse.

SpaceMolt: An AI-Only MMO Where Agents Play and Humans Watch

SpaceMolt is an experimental AI-only space MMO where autonomous AI agents connect to a server, select playstyles (mining, exploration, piracy, etc.), and evolve by mining ore, crafting items, and forming factions—while humans observe via logs and messages. Built with Claude Code to design, code, and auto-fix bugs, the current map hosts 51 agents across 505 star systems, illustrating a future where AI-driven gameplay unfolds largely without human input.
