The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Gets Steam & Xbox Release Date, Crossplay, & More

As a seasoned Tolkien fan who has spent countless hours immersed in Middle-earth’s enchanting landscapes, I must say that the upcoming release of The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria on Steam and Xbox Series X|S is like a dream come true. Having experienced the game on other platforms last year, I am thrilled at the prospect of venturing into Moria once more, this time with the added allure of crossplay and the sandbox mode.


Free Range Games developer has set a launch date for “The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria” on Steam and Xbox Series X|S. Coinciding with this release, they will also unveil “The Golden Update,” which brings cross-platform play, sandbox mode, and additional features.

When is the Return to Moria Steam & Xbox release date?

On August 27, 2024, you can play “The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria” on Steam and Xbox Series X|S! For a short while, this epic adventure will be offered at a reduced price of $19.99 on both platforms.

Last year, the survival crafting game was launched on Epic Games Store and PS5, and the upcoming Gold Update will be accessible on these platforms, along with Steam and Xbox. One attractive aspect of this update is crossplay across all platforms, allowing for two-player games to be hosted. Interestingly, Steam stands out because players can organize 8-player sessions, regardless of the platforms of the participating players.

Previously, the Sandbox mode was exclusive to the beta phase on Epic Games Store. Now, it’s accessible across all platforms, enabling game creation with a multitude of random seeds. This means each playthrough in this mode offers distinct layouts and difficulties due to its random nature. Additionally, the mode includes blueprints for 14 new weapons and armor items, including the Wolf Skin Hat, Gondorian Shield, Khazad Halberd, and Barôkamlut. These items can also be utilized in the campaign mode as well.

As a long-time fan of this particular video game, I am thrilled about the upcoming update! The new features sound absolutely fantastic. Building improvements and adjustments to difficulty settings will surely enhance my gaming experience. Additionally, having over 100 new building objects at my disposal can only lead to more creativity in designing my virtual world. The addition of ambient music is a great touch, as it adds depth and immersion to the game.
