Reclaim the Dwarven Homeland of Moria
Welcome to The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™, the only survival crafting video game set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth™, the iconic fantasy 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.

Explore a World of Endless Possibilities
Return to Moria utilizes procedurally generated realms, meaning no two adventures will be alike. Every expedition is traversable either solo or online with companions. Players can mine to craft greater gear and resources, but beware mining makes noise, and noise created in the quiet deep threatens to awaken the dangers below: where there's clatter, there's combat. Excavate the mysteries of three legendary mountains, extract precious metals, scrape to survive, and battle unspeakable forces to learn the secret of the Shadow that lurks within.

"Most recently, I was surprised at how good Return to Moria looks from a purely visual perspective. Despite having so many buildings and objects scattered around, the game relies on high-resolution details and the truly beautiful craftsmanship of the dwarves."
