The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™ - Opening Cinematic

Epic Games... yeah, that's a pass chief.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old.
We must away, ere break of day,
To find our long forgotten gold.

Given what was done with the IP for the Gollum game, I’ve got low hopes at this point, but I’d love to be pleasantly surprised once it launches.

The IP has changed hands, so it can have little that appears like what we got from the films, but it was a nice touch bringing John Rhys-Davies to do the narration for the opening.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but not preordering because, well... because.

A bit perplexed where the hollow where the lake of the watcher has gone in that image, unless it's another door into the mountain - though as it's got the iconic, "Mellon" door, I somehow doubt it. Still, it's clearly years onwards, so maybe it's all been filled in and worked on.

Fingers crossed, I really want a new LotR game that's good, and this looks like it could be one. Maybe a touch of Ancient Domains of Mystery in with it?
