The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a survival adventure that follows the Dwarves as they set out to reclaim their fabled home of Moria beneath the Misty Mountains. Summoned by Lord Gimli Lockbearer, you take command of a company of Dwarves charged with recovering the lost spoils of their homeland, known as Khazad-dum or Dwarrowdelf, from the depths below their feet. It is a quest that demands fortitude as you delve into the mines to recover their treasures.
The realm of Moria is procedurally generated, so no two expeditions play out the same way, and every journey can be tackled solo or in online co-op with companions. You mine for materials to craft better gear and resources, but mining makes noise, and noise in the quiet deep risks waking the dangers lurking below. Where there is clatter, there is combat, so vigilance is as important as ambition.
Beyond digging and surviving, the game invites you to rebuild and reshape Moria, restoring the long-lost kingdom of Khazad-dum to its former glory and recovering Dwarven landmarks as the story unfolds. Between excavating mysteries, extracting precious metals, and battling the forces tied to the Shadow within, this PC survival adventure turns the reclamation of an iconic Middle-earth stronghold into a sprawling cooperative undertaking.
