To some, it may seem strange to start investing significant time and money into a game that is fast approaching its 14th anniversary but if you look at the numbers involved, perhaps it will seem less so. No explanation for the communications black out was forthcoming.
It was also announced that Daybreak had, in fact, obtained the publishing and licensing rights for SSG’s titles LoTRO and Dungeons & Dragons Online, both relative veterans on the MMO market. When EG7 declared that they had acquired Daybreak Games in December 2020, the mystery was finally laid to rest. While there were rumours that Daybreak Games were now in the driving seat over at Standing Stone Games nothing has ever been officially announced. The subject of who owns the publishing and licensing rights for LoTRO has, for some inexplicable reason, been something of a mystery for a few years now. The update announcement also alluded to next generation consoles so it looks as though the game will finally be making its way onto those platforms (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S). According to the presentation given in December 2020 to its investors by Enad Global 7, the Swedish games conglomerate, Daybreak Games is planning “visual and technical updates” for LoTRO so the game will be looking fresh following the release of the Amazon series perhaps in the hope that it will be reaching a whole new legion of fans. Coinciding with Amazon’s hotly anticipated $500m TV series set in Tolkien’s Middle Earth, Daybreak Games, formerly Sony Online Entertainment and the current publisher and rights holder for Lord of The Rings Online, recently announced that the long-standing MMO will be getting a significant update by 2022.
